Original text and translations

Latin text

O pretiosum et admirandum convivium,
salutiferum et omni suavitate repletum!
Quid enim hoc convivio pretiosius esse potest?
in quo non carnes vitulorum neque hircorum,
ut olim in lege, sed nobis Christus
sumendus proponitur verus Deus.

Thomas Aquinas, Opusculum 57, in festo Corporis Christi, lect. 1-4
