EUCHARIST
Eyes searching, hands reaching
“Body of Christ”
Mouths opening, hearts yearning
To receive Him.
“Body of Christ”
From the ends of the earth we come,
Brown, black, yellow, white
“Body of Christ”
All the shades of humankind,
We come gather into one.
“Body of Christ”
Wherever we are He is, receive Him
Be aware of Him, open to Him.
“Body of Christ”
We come to Him, become one in Him.
“Body of Christ”
Smooth hands, snarled hands, open hands
Reaching, touching, needing, pleading
“Body of Christ”
Faces taut, hopeful, expectant revealing a life
Unseen, unknown except to God
“Body of Christ”
As He knit us in the dark of our Mothers’
Wombs, He knits our beings our souls
Into His likeness, the gentle revelation
The transformation
“Body of Christ”
