That's pleni sunt caeli et terra. The rest of the phrase is Gloria tua.
So the whole phrase means, "The heavens and earth are full of your glory." pleni - full ; sunt - are; caeli - heavens; et - and; terra - earth; Gloria - glory; tua - your. It is part of the Santus that Catholics recite at Mass shortly before the Eucharistic prayer is begun. The language is, of course, Latin. The whole thing is:
Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus,
Domine Deus Sabaoth,
pleni sunt caeli et terra Gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domine.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God of hosts (armies),
The heavens and earth are full of your glory
Hosanna (praise) in the highest.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Catholics put this hymn at that precise part of the Mass because they believe that when the priest says the words of consecration the Bread and Wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior. They are theerefore praising Him who is about to make Himself present on the altar.
