Taken into the
hands of sinful men but to
us freely given.
Water and flour no
more, now his living presence
among his people,
real nourishment and
strength for our weary spirit:
food for the journey,
active yeast for our
soul, Easter rising in the
heart of our longing,
sign of the Lord’s body
broken in love for us all
gathered in his name,
‘Amen’ affirms that
we too are being transformed
into something new:
Bringing comfort where solace is sorely lacking
Touching delicately the wounds of a sorry world
Moving gently into the deep shadows of despair
Being present to others in the intimacy of silence
Modelling harmony where we encounter fracture
Sharing our abundance with those who have less
Spreading a soothing balm on old hurts and pain
Offering the lonely a caress that lingers with Hope…
Veins pulsing with the urgency of His love for all,
becoming what we receive: The Body of Christ!
