Holy Communion: a meditation poem

 An old reminder that all is part of the offering of creation to the One from whom all arises in Love... and the offering of Love for the healing of creation...



Holy Communion.


If we look 

deeply enough,

If we pause 

long enough,

If we become 

still enough,

If we gaze 

simply enough,

If we are

quiet enough,

then we begin,

at last,

to understand

that

the seeming silence 

of 

creation

is a dwelling 

in the deep Eucharistic 

mystery of 

reality 

itself .

Where all that is, 

comes to us

through Him.

Where all that is, 

offers itself 

with Him.

Where all that is, 

exists 

in Him;

and He is

Love.

And then we,

sons and daughters 

of the Most High,

and,

brothers and sisters

of all

being,

may join this

eternal dance 

of 

creation's

consecration

and offer

our sacrifice

of presence

and praise

to the

One

who descends 

daily,

and, who,

humbly in

the hands

of His

priests,

invites our

entry

into

holy

communion

once 

again.
