Panis Angelicus

May 25, 2008

In 1264, Pope Urban IV asked Thomas Aquinas to compose the office for the newly established feast of Corpus Christi. Thomas’s texts are both beautiful and profound. By studying them, we can learn much of the Church’s theology of the eucharist. He tells us that Christ serves us, with his own hands, the bread of angels.
