PASSOVER

Tonight,
like a priest,
I lift the Eucharist of moon
over the sleeping city,
blessing all the people.

Tonight,
Christ enter into all our homes
enter into all your people;
your blood be upon all
the people of the city.

Tonight,
eat with us sinners,
dine with drunkards;
once more spend your time
at one with us,
in communion with us.

Tonight,
repeat once again
over all of us,
“This is my body
which will be given up for you.
This is my blood,
the blood of the Passover Lamb
being sacrificed for you.”

Cf. Exodus 12; Exodus 29;

Luke 19: 41-44; Luke 22:1-38
