Raffaello Sanzio, Dispunta del Sacramento, 1509, (Stanza della Segnatura, Citt\u00e0 del Vaticano)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Sermon 2 of the Ascension, St Leo the Great writes: “the Son of Man made himself known in the most sublime and holiest manner as the Son of God, when he re-entered into the glory of the Father’s majesty, and began in an ineffable way to make himself more present by his divinity, he who, in his visible humanity, had become more distant from us… Therefore, what was visible of our Redeemer passed into the sacramental rites” (PL 54, 397-399).<\/p>\n

And it is precisely through the “fragile” signs of bread, wine, water, oil… All historical signs, and therefore subject to deterioration, that we can encounter the humanity of Jesus in the sacraments today.<\/p>\n

In the Eucharist, the humanity of Jesus becomes our humanity, we become one with Him and so in the fragility, uncertainty and precariousness of our living in history, we are given a “pledge”, a guarantee of our future glory, of what will be our life forever, where God will be “all in all” (1 Cor 15:28), where we will be transformed and our corruptible body will be clothed with incorruption (cf. 1 Cor 15:52-53), where we will see God “face to face” (1 Cor 13:12), “as he is” (1 Jn 3:2).<\/p>\n

The sequence of today’s Celebration has the following text:
\nLauda, Sion Salvat\u00f3rem,
\nlauda ducem et past\u00f3rem
\nin hymnis et c\u00e1nticis.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quantum potes, tantum aude:<\/em>
\nquia maior omni laude,<\/em>
\nnec laud\u00e1re s\u00fafficis.<\/em><\/p>\n

Laudis thema speci\u00e1lis,<\/em>
\npanis vivus et vit\u00e1lis<\/em>
\nh\u00f3die prop\u00f3nitur.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quem in sacr\u00e6 mensa cen\u00e6,<\/em>
\nturb\u00e6 fratrum duod\u00e9n\u00e6<\/em>
\ndatum non amb\u00edgitur.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sit laus plena, sit son\u00f3ra,
\nsit iuc\u00fanda, sit dec\u00f3ra
\nmentis iubil\u00e1tio.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dies enim sol\u00e9mnis \u00e1gitur,<\/em>
\nin qua mens\u00e6 prima rec\u00f3litur<\/em>
\nhuius instit\u00fatio.<\/em><\/p>\n

In hac mensa novi Regis,<\/em>
\nnovum Pascha nov\u00e6 legis<\/em>
\nPhase vetus t\u00e9rminat.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vetust\u00e1tem n\u00f3vitas,
\numbram fugat v\u00e9ritas,
\nnoctem lux el\u00edminat.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quod in cena Christus gessit,
\nfaci\u00e9ndum hoc expr\u00e9ssit
\nin sui mem\u00f3riam.<\/em><\/p>\n

Docti sacris instit\u00fatis,
\npanem, vinum, in sal\u00fatis
\nconsecr\u00e1mus h\u00f3stiam.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dogma datur Christi\u00e1nis,
\nquod in carnem transit panis,
\net vinum in s\u00e1nguinem.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quod non capis, quod non vides,
\nanim\u00f3sa firmat fides,
\npr\u00e6ter rerum \u00f3rdinem.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sub div\u00e9rsis speci\u00e9bus,
\nsignis tantum, et non rebus,
\nlatent res ex\u00edmi\u00e6.<\/em><\/p>\n

Caro cibus, sanguis potus:
\nmanet tamen Christus totus,
\nsub utr\u00e1que sp\u00e9cie.<\/em><\/p>\n

A sum\u00e9nte non conc\u00edsus,
\nnon confr\u00e1ctus, non div\u00edsus:
\n\u00ednteger acc\u00edpitur.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sumit unus, sumunt mille:
\nquantum isti, tantum ille:
\nnec sumptus cons\u00famitur.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sumunt boni, sumunt mali:
\nsorte tamen in\u00e6qu\u00e1li,
\nvit\u00e6 vel int\u00e9ritus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mors est malis, vita bonis:
\nvide paris sumpti\u00f3nis
\nquam sit dispar \u00e9xitus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fracto demum sacram\u00e9nto,
\nne vac\u00edlles, sed memento,
\ntantum esse sub fragm\u00e9nto,
\nquantum toto t\u00e9gitur.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nulla rei fit sciss\u00fara:
\nsigni tantum fit fract\u00fara:
\nqua nec status nec stat\u00fara
\nsign\u00e1ti min\u00faitur.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Ecce panis Angel\u00f3rum,
\nfactus cibus viat\u00f3rum:
\nvere panis f\u00edli\u00f3rum,
\nnon mitt\u00e9ndus c\u00e1nibus.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

In fig\u00faris pr\u00e6sign\u00e1tur,
\ncum Isaac immol\u00e1tur:
\nagnus pasch\u00e6 deput\u00e1tur:
\ndatur manna p\u00e1tribus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bone Pastor, panis vere,
\nIesu, nostri miser\u00e9re:
\ntu nos pasce, nos tu\u00e9re:
\ntu nos bona fac vid\u00e9re
\nin terra viv\u00e9ntium.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tu, qui cuncta scis et vales:
\nqui nos pascis hic mortales:
\ntuos ibi commens\u00e1les,
\ncoher\u00e9des et sodales
\nfac sanct\u00f3rum c\u00edvium.<\/em><\/p>\n

The attached music, in Gregorian Chant, is taken from the Graduale Triplex published in Solesmes in 1979. The interpretation, live at the Papal Celebration on 18 June 2017, is by the Pontifical Musical Chapel “Sistina” for the a cappella part, and by the Choir of the Diocese of Rome conducted by Marco Frisina for the assembly part accompanied by the organ.<\/p>\n

A blessed Sunday and heartfelt greetings.<\/p>\n
