Eucharistic Witness


 

Eucharistic Witness

Thin White Wafer in hand held high:
    "Oh, Lord, I am not worthy!"
Words slurred in audible sigh.
Wheat, unleavened; chaff and thresh
transformed from grain to flesh.


Thin White Wafer in hand held high:
   ". . . say but the Word . . ."
Vision transposed by mortal eye.
See-through image, symbolic and real,
Grace personified, nourish and heal.


Thin White Wafer in hand held high:
   "The Body of Christ!"
Touches the tongue; come union nigh,
Eucharist consumed give to us
faith, our hope and God's caritas. Amen.
