Morning Eucharist

Upon the wood of the Holy Cross,

Upon the stone table of the Altar,

Upon the Mercy Seat of the Tabernacle,

A propitiatory miracle.

Blood upon the Holy Cross,

Blood upon the Holy Table,

Blood upon the Mercy Seat.

Heavy incense laden air, at once

Covering and conveying His Presence,

Enfolding me in His open arms of love.

Oh, the mysterious wonder of it all,

Enfolding and raising me who am so small,

And not me alone, but all of us together,

Who hold him in our hearts in love and awe.
