Corpus Christi: I affirm my subjugation to Christ vanquisher of hell and my sins.
Novus OrdoCorpus Christi — May 30, 2027, Jun 18, 2028
Deus, qui nobis sub sacramento mirabili passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti, tribue, quaesumus, ita nos Corporis et Sanguinis tui sacra mysteria venerari, ut redemptionis tuae fructum in nobis iugiter sentiamus.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
O God, who bequeathed to us under a wondrous sacrament the memorial of Your Passion, grant to us, we implore, to venerate the sacred mysteries of Your Body and Blood in such a way that we constantly sense within us the fruit of Your redemption.
In the traditional Roman calendar for the 1962 Missale Romanum yesterday, Thursday, was the Feast of Corpus Domini, or Corpus Christi. In the post-Conciliar Missal’s calendar today is also Corpus Christi. In the Novus Ordo – Vetus too, with “external celebration” – many people will observe Corpus Christi on Sunday, which ensures that more people will participate.
