Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who, having loved his own which were in the world, loved them unto the end, and on the night before he suffered, did institute these holy mysteries: That we, receiving the benefits of his Passion, and being quickened by his Resurrection, might be made partakers of his divine nature.
