Corpus Christi

from the Sequence:

For now shines forth

the day sublime

that brings remembrance 

of the time

when Jesus first his table blessed.

He blessed the table
He blessed all that the table means
...about human community
...about what it means to be a person
...about forgiveness
...about sustenance of mind, and heart, and soul
...about passion
and so much more...

O Lord who comes to us 
as sustenance in so many ways
Guide our imaginations 
let us contemplate well, and big, and rich, and deep
because it is YOU we contemplate
Only in our arrogance
do we consider YOU pinned down 
as if our imaginations have no more work to do.
