Code:
I believe that in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, through the operation of the Holy Spirit, our Lord Jesus Christ is verily and indeed present, in a mystical and wonderful manner, in his risen and glorified body, in the fulness of his humanity and the fulness of his Deity, under the forms of Bread and Wine, as truly as he was during his earthly life in Palestine, according to his promise to be with us even unto the end of the world; and that he is there to be worshipped with as real devotion as he is eternally adored by all the Saints and Angels on his heavenly Throne.
I believe that in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass our Lord offers himself to his Father for us men and for our salvation, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, that taketh away the sins of men. I believe that this is the one, true Sacrifice and Oblation which was once offered by the Eternal Son of God upon the Cross of Calvary, and which he is continually pleading before his Father in heaven, through which alone we are made worthy to approach God now, and in which is all our hope for union with him hereafter.
And I believe that in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, he who is the Living Bread, the Food of Angels and the Wine of salvation, comes into our souls to strengthen us with his indwelling Presence, to refresh us in this our earthly pilgrimage, to purify us from sin, and to prepare our souls and bodies for eternal life; in the strength of which Meat I live, and in the faith of which may Almighty God preserve me; to whom, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, be eternal praise, adoration and thanksgiving, by all his faithful ones, now and forever. Amen.
