“Adoro Te Devote” is a Eucharistic Hymn, written by Thomas Aquinas.[1]
“Adoro Te Devote” is one of the five Eucharistic Hymns which were composed and set to music for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, instituted in 1264 by Pope Urban IV as a Solemnity for the entire Roman Catholic Church.
The following Text is supplied by “COPILOT”.
The revered Eucharistic Hymns composed by Saint Thomas Aquinas for the Liturgical Celebration of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi also include the following:
“Pange Lingua”: Also known as “Tantum Ergo,” this Hymn beautifully expresses the Mystery of The Glorious Body and Blood of Christ.
It is often sung during the Exposition and Benediction of The Blessed Sacrament.
“O Salutaris Hostia”: A Hymn that emphasises the saving power of the Eucharist, it is often used during Adoration and other Eucharistic devotions. The phrase “O Salutaris Hostia” means “O Saving Victim”.
“Lauda Sion”: Although “optional” [Editor: Seriously, how on Earth can this magnificent Hymn be deemed “optional”] in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, this Hymn remains Liturgically significant.
It is the Sequence recited or sung after the Second Reading at Mass. “Lauda Sion” praises The Saviour’s sacrifice and the gift of the Eucharist.
These Hymns continue to inspire devotion and awe as we contemplate the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
