Adoro te devote, latens Deitas, quae sub his figuris vere latitas: tibi se cor meum totum subjicit, quia te contemplans totum deficit.
***
Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart,
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

Amen.
Interestingly, if my eyes are seeing correctly, I think Pope Benedict wore those exact same vestments at the beatificaton Mass this morning.
