Read My Words



Read my words, and be in communion with me:
My words are my bread and my flesh—eat of me,
My words are my wine and my blood—drink a draft of me.

Take a Eucharist of me; a holy sacrament of me;
Be at one with me and anoint me with frankincense and myrrh;
Make my soul brimful of your light to guide me.

And I will take a Eucharist of you; breaking your bread,
Drinking your wine; your flesh and your blood,
Lighting the way for your soul, with my light.

And we will be one together; two in one saved by each other,
You, by reading me—understanding me, being comforted by me,
Me, my words being read by you, sanctified and saved by you.
