Sundays are for Beauty - Bocelli at Pavarotti Funeral



That's Andrea Bocelli, a frequent visitor to Sundays are for Beauty, singing Ave Verum Corpus, which translates: "Hail, true body," at the funeral Mass for Luciano Pavarotti in 2007. The hymn dates from the 14th century and has been set to music by many composers, most notably Mozart. It's a meditation on the Catholic belief in the Real Presence of the body of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Today the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of the Assumption of Our Blessed Mother, Body and Soul, into Heaven.



Have a Beautiful Sunday.
