Recorded live at Saint Agnes during a Mass.
Hail, true body,
born of the Virgin Mary,
who truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for mankind,
from whose pierced side
flowed water and blood:
may it be for us a foretaste
in the trial of death.
O sweet, O gentle, O Jesus, Son of Mary,
have mercy on us.
Pope Innocent VI (1282 or 1295-1362)
