Note 22 — Chapter XVII · ANSWERS TO CERTAIN OBJECTIONS BROUGHT AGAINST THE DOCTRINE OF THE BLESSED EUCHARIST.
Reading edition
The reader will, naturally, recall the words of St. Thomas, in the Lauda Sion:—
“Fracto demum Sacramento, Ne vacilles, sed memento, Tantum esse sub fragmento, Quantum toto tegitur,” etc.,
of which the late Father Aylward, O.P., has left the following translation:—
“When the priest the Victim breaketh, See thy faith it nowise shaketh; Know that every fragment taketh All that ’neath the whole there lies; This in Him no fracture maketh, ’Tis the figure only breaketh, Form or state, no change there taketh Place, in what it signifies.”—Editor.
