My Journey to God

The Precious Blood of Christ

Blood, the life force, flowing through arteries, veins and heart.
The heart, the pulse beat, subtle and at times beating like a drum in the ear.
The consecrated Host, raised before eyes,
“This is the body of Christ.”
Sounding a new pulse.
The Chalice raised,
“This is the blood of Christ.”
Feeding all with the new beat of
unconditional forgiveness and love.
The consecrated Body and Blood entering into my body and blood.
Asking that I give to others the
unconditional forgiveness and love
Given to me in the breaking of the bread.
