Corpus Christi

On Sunday, June 2, we celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ).  This feast commemorates the Eucharist.

A little grammar: Corpus, corporis is a third declension neuter noun.  Christi is a second declension noun in the genitive singular.  In the text below, notice how corpus  is modified by meum, a possessive adjective in the neuter nominative singular.

Here is an image of the Last Supper with Jesus' words in Greek, Latin, and English.
