Ave Verum Corpus by Ben Parry

Hail the true body, born of the Virgin Mary:
You who truly suffered and were sacrificed on the cross for the sake of man.
From whose pierced flank flowed water and blood:
Be a foretaste for us in the trial of death.
O sweet, O merciful, O Jesus, Son of Mary.
Have mercy on me. Amen.


This piece was sung by the Mission Basilica Schola and conducted by Matthew Gray in the historic Mission Basilica for the Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, August 11th, 2024.
