- The Bread of Angels becomes Bread of men;
the heavenly Bread puts an end to figures.
O thing most wonderful!
the poor and humble servant eats the Lord. - We ask You, O God Three and One,
to visit us just as we celebrate You;
along Your paths, lead us to where we are headed,
to the light where You dwell. Amen.
