The Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours uses a single Biblical verse from the Book of Wisdom as reading in the Third Hour (Terce) on the sollemnity of Corpus Christi:<\/p>\n

You nourished your people with food of angels and furnished them bread from heaven, ready to hand, untoiled for, endowed with all delight and conforming to every taste.<\/em><\/p>\n

To be precise, this is Wisdom 16:20.<\/p>\n

Now here is what the Benediktinisches Antiphonale<\/em> \u2013 which is used in several German speaking monasteries \u2013 does: In the Second Vespers of Corpus Christi the reading combines Wisdom 16:20 with the following verse 21 and with verse 26. And this is what we get:<\/p>\n

You nourished your people with food of angels and furnished them bread from heaven, ready to hand, untoiled for, endowed with all delight and conforming to every taste. <\/em>For this substance of yours revealed your sweetness toward your children, and serving the desire of the one who received it, was changed to whatever flavor each one wished \u2013 that your children whom you loved might learn, o Lord<\/span>,\u00a0that it is not the various kinds of fruits that nourish, but your word that preserves those who believe you!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
