“..The feast of Corpus Christi was established during Saint Thomas’s lifetime. He
probably wrote many of the prayers we use in the liturgy on this feast...He also
wrote some fine hymns in honour of the Blessed Sacrament, not only ‘Adoro Te?’..but
also ‘O Salutaris Hostia’ and the ‘Tantum Ergo’ we sing at Benediction.”
