Description:
Ab ortu solis usque ad occasum, magnum est nomen meum in gentibus. Et in omni loco sacrificatur, et offertur nomini meo oblatio munda: quia magnum est nomen meum in gentibus. Venite comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis
From the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among the Gentiles. Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
Tract for the Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament.
