Deign, O Jesus, Pelican of heaven, me, a sinner, in Thy Blood to lave, to a single drop of which is given all the world from all its sin to save. ~ from the Latin hymn "Adoro Te Devote" by St. Thomas Aquinas
Come and participate in the body and blood
of the victim immolated for us; come and remember
that this death is our life. Jacques Benigne Bossuet, Bishop of Meaux in France
