Pahhis angelus

Tuesday, 11/22/16

Today is the feast of Saint Cecilia, the patroness of Church Music. I thought we might celebrate the day by singing a beloved Latin Hymn.

Once when I was in the Fifth Grade, in preparation for Holy Thursday we were all in procession up and down the aisles, singing "Panis angelicus. I was in heaven. Then, a nun came out of nowhere, slapping me. and asking, "Who told you you could sing?" I am getting back at her now.

Pannis angelicus
Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis
Manducat dominum

Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis

Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
