*Ego sum panis vivus.
Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.
Hic est panis de coelo descendens: si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non morietur.
I am the living bread.
Your forebears ate manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which comes down from heaven, whoever eats of this will not die.
**Ave, maris stella, Sumens illud Ave Solve vincla reis, Monstra te esse matrem Virgo singularis, Vitam praesta puram, Sit laus Deo Patri, |
Hail, star of the sea, Receiving that Ave Break the chains of sinners, Show yourself to be a mother, O unique virgin, Keep life pure, Let there be praise to God the Father, |
