Notes About The Poem

Bread and Wine

Soaked in Grace

Soaked in Grace By Mark D. Stucky
When partaking of communion, “intinction” is the practice of dipping the bit of bread into a common cup. The bottom of the bread becomes soaked in wine, and the bread and wine, entwined, without separation, are consumed together as one. We’re usually unaware, but God’s grace surrounds us. No separation exists between us and grace. God soaks our lives in grace and asks us to partake. (First published in Earth & Altar, 23 Feb. 2023.

A religious poem. I'm Catholic. Your poem is so detailed about taking communion. Much enjoyed. Thank you for the beauty of it.
