DE CORPORE CHRISTI
Hic est panis qui de caelo descendit. Non sicut manducaverunt patres vestri manna, et mortui sunt. Qui manducat hunc panem, vivet in aeternum.
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.
John 6.59
TRADITUR HAC CENA CHRISTI CRUOR ET CARO PLENA. QUO CONFORTANTUR BENE QUI DOMINO FAMULANTUR
PANIS COR HOMINIS CONFIRMER
Et vinum laetificet cor hominis; ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet.
And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
Psalm 103.15
PINGUIS PANIS EIUS ET PREBEBIT DELICIAS
Aser, pinguis panis ejus, et praebebit delicias regibus.
Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings.

PANIS ABSCONDITUS SUAUIOR EST
Aquae furtivae dulciores sunt, et panis absconditus suavior.
Stolen waters are sweeter, and hidden bread is more pleasant.

QUI EDUNT ME ADHUC ESURIENT
