Monday of the 5 th Week in Ordinary Time

 

 

 

They implored that they might touch.
Even the hem of his garment.
And when does our touch.
Reach his firmament.

It’s in our daily communion.
He is literally in our hands.
What an extraordinary reunion
That he should be in our hands.

This is flesh and blood given.
It is real.
The bread is leaven.
And we can break heaven’s seal.

They touched his hem.
Two thousand years later we are like them.

…..

They touched his garment
We now take communion
And it is just good

….

See Mark 6: 53-56
