The Bread of Angels becomes the Bread of men; the Bread of Heaven puts an end to types; O wondrous thing: the poor, the servant, and the lowly, feed on their Lord! O triune Deity, we beseech Thee, that Thou visit us, as we adore Thee; lead us by Thy ways, whither we direct our steps, to the light wherein Thou dost dwell. Panis angelicus and panis clicus are Scriptural allusions to the manna of old, which was a type of the Manna of the New Law. Et pluit illis manna ad manducandum, et panem cli dedit eis. Panem angelorum manducavit homo: cibaria misit eis in abundantia (Ps. 77, 24-25). Manna was the miraculous bread of the Israelites during their forty years sojourn in the desert; it came down from heaven every morning, and it was consumed in the morning; it was small and white; and such was its nature that neither had he more that had gathered more, nor did he find less that had provided less (Exod. 16, 18).
