[LA] Hac pellicula carmen ad Festum Corporis Christi, quod Pange Lingua vocatur, legemus et enodabimus. [EN] In this video we will read and explain the hymn Pange Lingua that is sung during the Eucharistic procession on the feast of Corpus Christi
• April 6, 2023, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET• Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Friends of the Rosary: Today is Holy Thursday of the Sacred Triduum, commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his apostles. During the evening's Mass of the Lord's Supper, we observe the institution of the priesthood and Holy Eucharist, the mystery of the Body and Blood of Christ Jesus. The Mass includes the Washing of the Feet. With this gesture, we imitate Christ's humility. We also recall the Agony in the Garden and the arrest and imprisonment of Jesus. The altar is stripped bare, crosses are removed or covered. After the Communion Prayer, the Holy Eucharist is carried in procession through Church and transferred into a side chapel. The hymn Pange Lingua is usually sung at this time. Most churches are open for silent adoration, as there is a tradition, particularly in big cities with many parishes, to try and visit seven churches and their altar of repose during this evening.

St Thomas Aquinas: https://catholicnovenaapp.com/novenas/st-thomas-aquinas-novena/ Saint and Doctor of the Church Dominican who lived in the 1200s His parents did not want him to enter the Dominicans, one of the new mendicant Orders, so they imprisoned him for a year, sent in a prostitute to seduce him, whom he drove away with a burning iron from the fireplace, but he ultimately escaped and entered the Dominicans. Most brilliant scholar who ever lived In the so-called Dark Ages, yet really this was the time of the Glory of Christendom, and we have not equalled it in scholarship, nor architecture, nor faith. His landmark work, the Summa Theologica, he wrote for "beginning students," yet now only advanced doctoral students in philosophy, theology, and political science study it, which shows how far we have diminished in our scholastic achievement. That said, I recommend reading the Summa, a bit at a time, as the concepts are presented so logically, that most Catholics can understand them at least in part. Some of the language and words have precise, technical meanings which will elude you, but that is okay. Highly recommend Louis de Wohl's historical fiction book about St Thomas, called The Quiet Light. It brings St Thomas Aquinas to life. St Thomas is now the patron of students and universities. There's a great prayer that he composed for students that says things like .... He also composed some of the most beautiful hymns in the Church, including Pange Lingua... He is known as the Angelic Doctor due to the sublimity of his thought, and because two angels assisted him when he drove out the prostitute to remain celibate.

This evening we continued and completed Step number 10 on “slander and calumny.” Something very special emerges about John in the writing of this step. We see something very personal about John's capacity to love and his purity of heart. He acknowledges his own struggle with judging others as sinners, when in reality they were pure of heart in secret. Thus, John's repeated counsel is not to judge at all; even when we see things with a kind of clarity. We often have blind spots and dark spots in our evaluation of the others. Beyond this, the Evil One puts before us smoke, if you will, making us think that there is sin present where none exist. All that we are allowed to do is to love others. This means that we always attribute their sin to the action of demons. We are to look for the good in others and look for ways that we can support and lift them up if they are struggling. This means setting aside the morbid delight that we take in judging and the feeling of emotional power that we think it gives us over and against them. We must acknowledge the radical solidarity that exist between us and foster a spirit of generosity towards each other. To seize for ourselves a prerogative that belongs only to God is ruinous to the soul. May God preserve us! --- Text of chat during the group: 00:23:24 Bridget McGinley: Father, sorry...little long....I just wanted to follow up from last week with a comment/question. I was not able to type this fast enough. It was in relation to what you were saying about being serious and stern in presenting the Faith. You mentioned about your early sermon and how it was perceived by the college kids. I used to be pretty sanguine. Life has taken it's toll. I once heard Bishop Sheen say something that was pretty profound. He stated, “Christ had many emotions that were written about in the Bible but never did he smile or laugh.” Bishop Sheen stated that He is saving those for us in Heaven. Looking at Step 10 point 2 many people nowadays are pretty “shameless and very happy” and it is hard for me to find smiles and joy surrounded by the deluge. In tip-toeing around the obvious moral problems these days how does one escape mental slander which sometimes manifests as verbal slander? And how does one show a non-judgemental face? 00:37:37 iPhone: Anen Father 00:49:25 Rebecca Thérèse: Part of Leviticus 19 came into my mind in relation to not judging at all 15 You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go around as a slanderer[a] among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood[b] of your neighbor: I am the Lord. 17 You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. 00:57:02 Anthony Rago: Since the Late Middle Ages, our culture has been both immoral and curious. We want the knowledge of St. Thomas Aquinas' Summas, but we have not as eagerly gone to the other side of him, the one that made the Pange Lingua 00:57:39 Anthony Rago: We want knowledge for curiousity's sake, but not the humility of devotion 00:57:54 Ambrose Little, OP: Do you think the nature of social media has made this particular trap of the Devil more prevalent? 00:58:30 Sr Barbara Jean Mihalchick: How great it would be to always be centered on noting the virtues it observes in others! 00:58:47 Ambrose Little, OP: Amen, Sister! 01:03:12 Bridget McGinley: As a nurse I can attest it is physically and mentally debilitating communicating. Many of my co workers talk about how they can't even talk after a shift. Verbal interaction is very challenging. 01:11:45 Ambrose Little, OP: About #12 and #15.. I recently learned of a few very vocal critics (including a former apologist) in the Church ending up leaving the Faith, either entirely or moving to a sect. It's very sad. There is something in what St. John is saying they're for sure—that this kind of behavior can be ruinous. 01:17:21 Cindy Moran: Thank you Father! 01:17:23 Rebecca Thérèse: Thank you
Earthen VesselsSo many things are going on in our world. See the treasures you have been given by God and serve Him and one another.SCRIPTURE2 Corinthians 4: 7-10MUSIC"Pange Lingua""Be Still and Know"
Synopsis Many composers have produced works inspired by their deep religious faith: in the 18th century, the sacred music of the devout Lutheran church musician Johann Sebastian Bach being a notable example. Even in our more secular age, this is sometimes the case. The contemporary Scottish composer James MacMillan's works have explicit Christian themes, and, like Franz Liszt in the 19th century, MacMillan has even taken minor religious orders in the Roman Catholic Church. On commission from the London Symphony, MacMillan wrote three interrelated orchestral works, two concertos and a symphony, all based on the Passion and Resurrection story. The first of these, entitled “The World's Ransoming,” for English horn and orchestra, focused on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, and was premiered at the Barbican Center in London on today's date in 1996. Of this piece, MacMillan wrote, “'The World's Ransoming' includes musical references to [traditional liturgical] plainsongs for that day, as well as a Bach chorale … which I have heard sung in the eucharistic procession … The title of the piece comes from St. Thomas Aquinas's [Latin] hymn ‘Pange Lingua'.” An English translation of part of the Aquinas hymn reads: Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory, Of His Flesh, the mystery sing; Destined, for the world's ransom, From a virgin's womb to spring.

Link to MusicSt. Thomas Aquinas was a theologian, a philosopher, and one of the greatest intellects of all time. He is known as the Angelic Doctor of the Church. But did you know he is also regarded as one of the greatest Catholic poets of all time? And he only wrote 5 poems – 38 stanzas of poetry.In 1264, Pope Urban IV established the Solemnity of The Body of Christ, and asked St. Thomas Aquinas to write the texts for the Mass and the Divine Office for this new feast. Although St. Thomas was known for his scholarly – not poetical – work, he produced five of the best, known, best loved hymns in history:Adoro Te DevoteSacris Solemniis (Known for the final two verses: “Panis angelicus…”)Verbum Supernum Prodiens (Known for the final two verses: “O salutaris hostia…”)Pange Lingua (Known for the final two verses: “Tantum ergo…”)Lauda Sion (Known for its final verses: “Ecce panis angelorum…”)Inspired by a hymn written 800 years earlier, St. Thomas's Pange Lingua is considered the most beautiful of his hymns for Corpus Christi.ENGLISH (literal)Sing, O my tongue, and praise the mystery of the glorious body and the most precious blood, shed to save the world by the King of the nations, the fruit of a noble womb. Unto us he was given, he was born unto us of a Virgin untainted and pure; he dwelt among us in the world, sowing the seeds of God's word; and he ended the time of his stay on earth in the most wondrous of fashions. On his last night at supper, reclining at table in the midst of his brethren disciples, He fully observed the Ancient Law and partook of the Passover meal; and then, with his own hands, he gave himself up as food for the group of the Twelve.The Word made flesh, by a simple word, makes of his flesh the true bread; the blood of Christ becomes our drink; and though senses cannot perceive, for confirming pure hearts in true belief, faith alone suffices. In face of so great a mystery, therefore, let us bow down and worship; let precepts of the Ancient Law give way to the new Gospel rite; and let faith assist us and help us make up for what senses fail to perceive. Unto the Father and the Son, our praise and our joyful singing; unto whom saving power, honor and might, and every holy blessing; and to the Spirit who proceeds from both, an equal tribute of glory. Amen. LATINPANGE, lingua, gloriosi Corporis mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi, quem in mundi pretium fructus ventris generosi Rex effudit Gentium.Nobis datus, nobis natus ex intacta Virgine, et in mundo conversatus, sparso verbi semine, sui moras incolatus miro clausit ordine.In supremae nocte cenae recumbens cum fratribus observata lege plene cibis in legalibus, cibum turbae duodenae se dat suis manibus.Verbum caro, panem verum verbo carnem efficit: fitque sanguis Christi merum, et si sensus deficit, ad firmandum cor sincerum sola fides sufficit.Tantum ergo Sacramentum veneremur cernui: et antiquum documentum novo cedat ritui: praestet fides supplementum sensuum defectui.Genitori, Genitoque laus et iubilatio, salus, honor, virtus quoque sit et benedictio: procedenti ab utroque compar sit laudatio. Amen. Alleluia.
Synopsis In the 13th century, St. Thomas Aquinas penned a Latin hymn in praise of the holy sacrament of the last supper in which bread and wine are mystically changed into the body and blood of Christ. Aquinas's text begins, “Pange lingua, gloriosi” or “Sing, my tongue, the Savior's Glory.” Aquinas's words have been set to a melody much older than his text, possibly derived from a Roman marching song or an even earlier Hebrew chant. On May 21, 1983, this ancient text and tune underwent yet another transformation at the hands of the American composer and jazzman Dave Brubeck, when his “Pange Lingua Variations” for chorus, jazz ensemble and orchestra had its premiere at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Sacramento, California. In Brubeck's setting, each stanza is sung first in original Gregorian chant style, followed by a variation. Brubeck said, “I searched for the meaning of each stanza, and tried to convey that thought musically, so that each variation is a miniature meditation.” The third variation, taking its cue from the music's possible origin as a Roman marching tune, is given an appropriately martial treatment by both the chorus and jazz ensemble. While jazz fans associate Dave Brubeck with the sophisticated jazz he developed in the 50s and 60s, many church musicians also know him as the composer of many oratorios on sacred themes, which often incorporate jazz elements into their scoring.

Friends of the Rosary: Today is Holy Thursday, also known as "Maundy Thursday." It's the first day of Sacred Triduum, the three-part drama of Christ's redemption: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The word maundy comes from the Latin word mandatum (commandment). In the Last Supper, after completing the Washing of the Feet, Jesus Christ gave a commandment: "I give you a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you." (John 13:34). We imitate today Christ's infinite humility in the washing of the feet and meditate on his actions on Holy Thursday, including the institution of the Eucharist and the Agony and Capture in the Garden of Olives. Today, there are two Masses: the Chrism Mass, or Mass of the Holy Oils, and the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, which recalls the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood and includes the Washing of the Feet. The whole community of the parish participates, sings the Pange Lingua, and adores the Blessed Sacrament. During this evening, there is a tradition, particularly in big cities of visiting seven churches and their altar of repose with the Eucharist. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

Tonight we concluded Letter 70 of Saint Theophan to Anastasia. He speaks to her about the kind of books that she can read, both religious and secular. As with everything, she must be discriminating and cautious about the things to which she exposes herself; acknowledging that not everything is of equal value and some things can be destructive. She is to be discerning and keep her emphasis on the spiritual life. If she reads other things they should reveal to her the wisdom of God as seen in the world that he has created. Moving on to Letter 71, St. Theophan begins to address Anastasia‘s experience of coldness in prayer. He knows that in her youthfulness her experience of prayer has been limited and has been driven mostly by positive emotional experience. This has led her unfortunately to be less vigilant and disciplined. One can become careless and pray hurriedly without guarding the thoughts or embracing the wisdom of the Fathers. She must humbly acknowledge this carelessness or negligence and ask God specifically to help her to begin again. How true this is often for us as well. Like Anastasia we must often humbly acknowledge before God the ways that we have turned away from him and ask him for forgiveness and the grace to start again. --- 00:12:56 renwitter:
Taylor kicks off the show with an announcement of a fun update to the show. He & Fr. Anthony also discuss the premise from a recent Marvel post that "real men only compliment each other behind their backs" which leads to a fun conversation about friendship. Next, JP Quinn rejoins the show to play the game he invented: Forte, Mezzo, Piano. He shares hot takes that Father Anthony and Taylor have to grade and share their views on. Man, let me tell you, JP wanted absolute chaos this week and he got it. Fr. Anthony and Taylor haven't been this united in months as they take aim at JP's ridiculous takes.

Con Francisco José Fernández Cruz-Sequera, Marcos López Herrador y Fernando Montoya debatimos el cambio de la sociedad española en estos 40 años en los que se celebran los fastos de las primeras elecciones que denominan democráticas. Más allá de los pretendidos derechos políticos que nos otorgan al tener la posibilidad de introducir papeles en urnas, analizamos la pérdida objetiva de derechos sociales y el empeoramiento de condiciones materiales. Pero especialmente resaltamos el proceso de ingeniería social que ha llevado a la sociedad española a verse huérfana de referencias morales. Relacionado con lo anterior, denunciamos la responsabilidad del gobierno en la derogación de la doctrina Parod, lo que ha supuesto la liberación de terribles criminales que suponen un riesgo para la sociedad como el violador reincidente del ascensor. El profesor Javier Paredes, además, nos recuerda el sentido del Corpus Christi y nos invita a escuchar el "Pange Lingua" de Mocedades.

Himno Pange Lingua de Santo Tomás de Aquino (traducción de José Manuel Zubicoa Bayón). Pange Lingua es un himno eucarístico escrito por santo Tomás de Aquino (1225-1274) para la festividad de Corpus Christi (Solemnidad del Santísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo). Este himno también es cantado el día del Jueves Santo, durante la procesión desde el altar hasta el monumento donde la reserva queda custodiada hasta el día siguiente, (Viernes Santo); también es el habitual en todas las procesiones eucarísticas. Las dos últimas estrofas de este himno, el Tantum Ergo, son cantadas como antífona antes de la bendición solemne con el Santísimo, efectuada al finalizar las adoraciones eucarísticas. --- TEXTO EN ESPAÑOL Canta lengua el glorioso misterio del Cuerpo, y de la Sangre preciosa, fruto de un vientre generoso, precio del mundo derramado, por el Rey de las naciones. Para nos dado y nacido de una purísima Virgen, con nosotros convivió, y tras sembrar su palabra, de su convivencial estancia cerró el admirable ciclo. En la última cena que tomó con sus hermanos, observada la ley plena, tras los consumos rituales, como alimento a los doce se dio con sus propias manos. El Verbo en carne, con su verbo hizo realmente el pan su Carne, y el vino Sangre de Cristo: y aunque el sentido no alcanza, para afirmarlo al sincero corazón con la sola fe le basta. A tan grande sacramento veneremos genuflexos; y el antiguo documento al rito ceda del nuevo: y dé la fe el suplemento al sentido insuficiente. A Engendrador y Engendrado loores y cantos gozosos, salutaciones, honores, con méritos y bendiciones: y al Procedente de ambos comparables alabanzas. Amén. --- TEXTO EN LATIN Pange lingua gloriosi Corporis mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi, Quem in mundi pretium Fructus ventris generosi, Rex effudit gentium. Nobis datus nobis natus Ex intacta virgine, Et in mundo conversatus, Sparso verbi semine, Sui moras incolatus Miro clausit ordine. In supreme nocte coenae Recumbens cum fratribus, Observata lege plena, Cibis in legalibus, Cibum turbae duodenae Se dat suis manibus. Verbum caro, panem verum Verbo Carnem efficit: Fitque Sanguis Christi merum Etsi sensus deficit, Ad firmandum cor sincerum Sola fides sufficit. Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquam documentum Novo cedat ritui: Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et iubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen. Música y canciones que nos acercan al Señor.

DENNIS FITZPATRICK: In the late 1950s, while the Mass was still in Latin, Catholic music pioneer Dennis Fitpatrick begins his groundbreaking work in composing English chant for the liturgy. Featured songs: "Kyrie," "Sanctus," "Agnus Dei," and "Communion Motet" by Dennis Fitzpatrick from the 1963 recording, Demonstration English Mass, published by Friends of the English Liturgy.
