Poem

In the Sacrament of the altar
Lord meets us
Men and women created in God’s image and likeness
Becomes our companion along the way

In this sacrament
The Lord becomes food for us
Satisfy our hunger for truth and freedom
Father Christ becomes for us the food of truth,  since only truth can make us free
.
With deep human insight
St. Augustine clearly showed how we are moved spontaneously
Not by constraint
Whenever we encounter something attractive and desirable

Asking himself, what it is that can move us most deeply?
The saintly Bishop went on to say:
“What does our soul desire more passionately than the truth?”
Everyone of us has innate and irresponsible desire for ultimate and definitive truth, the Lord Jesus, “the way, and truth, and the life”

Speaks to our thirsting, pilgrim hearts
Hearts yearning for the source of life
Hearts longing for truth
Father Christ is the truth in person

Drawing the world to Himself
The Sacrament of the Eucharist
Father Christ shows us in particular the truth about love
The very essence of Eternal God

It is evangelical truth which challenges each of us and our whole being
The Church, which finds in the Eucharist the very center of her life
Constantly, concerned to proclaim that Eternal God is love
Father Christ has become for us the food of truth

Church turns to every man
Woman 
Inviting them freely
To accept Eternal God’s gift
