April 8, 1953: (Taken from Prayers and Devotions of Pope John XXIII, page 102): When the Christians of the first centuries met around the Table of the Eucharist they prayed with hearts full of love and longing: “To you, O Lord, be glory forever! As this bread we have broken together was once scattered in ears of corn on the hills, and became one when it was harvested, so let your Church be gathered from the ends of the earth into your kingdom. For yours is the glory, and the power, through Jesus Christ, forever.”
