Sacris Solemniis

June 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Sacris Solemniis of St Thomas Aquinas.
The fifth verse:
Sic sacrificium istud instituit,
cuius officium committi voluit
solis presbyteris, quibus sic congruit,
ut sumant, et dent ceteris.
Thus he instituted this sacrifice,
whose ministry he willed to commit to priests alone,
for whom it is fitting that they
should receive it and give it to others.
