Annotatio IV §.XXI: German liturgy before administration — Christ Himself true food and drink of eternal life

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Before administration they confess: Christ Himself — chiefly as crucified flesh and poured blood — has become true food and drink of eternal life to hungry, thirsty souls.

In the preceding prayers they ask that crushed hearts be fed and refreshed with Christ’s true Body and Blood — yes with Him, true God and Man, heaven’s bread — by the Holy Spirit’s power.

Latin

Ante Administrationem quidem precesque, quando confitentur: Das Christus selbst (verstehe vornehmlich seinem gecreuzigtem Fleisch und vergossenem Blut nach) unseren hungerigen und durstigen Seelen / zur wahren Speiß und Tranck des ewigen Lebens worden sey. i. e. Christum ipsum (puta corpore præcipuè suô crucifixô & sanguine effusô) animabus nostris esurientibus ac sitientibus, in verum cibum potumque cedere. In precibus, administrationi præmissis, quando Deo supplicant: Daß ihre mühselige und zerschlagene Herzen / mit Christi wahrem Leib und Blut / ja mit ihm / wahren GOTT und Menschen / dem wahren Himmel Brodt / durch die Krafft des Heil. Geistes / gespeiset und erquicket werden. i. e. quò animæ suæ fatigatæ ac dilaceratæ, verô Christi corpore & sanguine, quin ipso totô, DEO verô homineque, æterno illo pane cœlesti vescantur ac refocillentur.
