Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession




Eucharistic procession from Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral, with background music sung by the Daughters of St. Paul ("O Sacrum Convivium," from the album "Adoration"). Translation of Latin hymn follows.

O Sacred Banquet,
in which Christ is consumed,
the memory of his passion is recalled,
the mind is filled with grace,
and a pledge of future glory is given to us.
Alleluia!

(Antiphon to the Magnificat, Liturgy of the Hours,
Evening Prayer II of the Feast of the Body and Blood of the Lord.)
