We will adore for eternity the most holy Sacrament.
Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise Him all ye peoples.

Wait..what was that?

Because his mercy is confirmed upon us:
and the truth of the Lord remains forever.
Adoremus...


Huh?

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Adoremus...


It...err...what...I...arrrg.
