Meaning of sursum corda




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

sursum corda
  10

Latinism taken from the preface of the Mass, used by the officiant since the 3rd century, when Christians were still persecuted, meaning "up hearts". The faithful answered: Habemus ad dominum, we have them raised to the Lord. The expression eventually became the noun sursuncorda, stereotypical character of great power for better or worse.
