BODY  AND  BLOOD

At his last meal before he died 
he rubbed his hands…. He sensed 
his blood flowing through his being - 
as he said to the world, “This is my body….
This is my blood. I’m giving my all to you.” 

At his last meal before he died 
he looked at his disciples surrounding 
him. He was asking them in prayer 
to say to the world, “This is my body….
This is my blood. I’m giving my all to you.” 

At his last meal before he died 
he closed his eyes and feeling the 
wind and the air that touched all 
the world he said, “This is my body….
This is my blood. I’m giving my all to you.”
