Ave Verum Corpus, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is a Eucharistic chant that we offer in honour of Divine Mercy Sunday and this week's Gospel of Thomas the Apostle (John 20:19-31) or 'Doubting Thomas'. We also used pictures from Pope Francis's "Urbi et Orbi" blessing on March 27, 2020.
This video is also offered to the memory of Juliana (Julie) Espiritu-Pasajol, the late mother of our accompanist and violinist. May she rest in peace.
Lyrics:
Ave / verum / Corpus, natum / de / Maria / Virgine:
Hail / true / Body / born / of / Mary / Virgin,
Vere / passum, / immolatum / in / cruce / pro / homine:

Cujus / latus / perforatum, / unda / fluxit / et / sanguine:
Whose / side / was pierced / from where or water / flowed / and / blood
Esto / nobis / praegustatum / in / mortis / examine.
Be / for us / foretaste / in / of death / testing
Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary,
who has truly suffered, and was sacrificed on the cross for mankind,
whose side was pierced, whence flowed water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste of heaven, during our final trial.
