Ave, verum corpusNatum de Maria Virgine,Vere passum immolatumIn Cruce pro homine,Cujus latus perforatumUnda fluxit et sanguine,Esto nobis praegustatumIn mortis examine.

Hail True Body
Hail, true Body,born of the Virgin Mary,who having truly suffered,was sacrificed on the cross for mankind,whose pierced sideflowed with water and blood:May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet]in the trial of death.
