Take the Holy Communion
Take the Holy Communion & receive the body of Christ
Say “Amen” and remember what He sacrificed
Through it we are being reminded
That He lived and departed
For the glory of God the Father
Who promises us a life thereafter
When our bodies will rise again like our Savior!

*33rd Daily Reflection from Catechism Booklet
Lilies of lucent light,
single file walking along
the cloudless pathway of
the songbirds' garden kingdom.
How fair the child lilies,
a gathering of the guiltless,
in snow-white
First Holy Communion dresses
with lacy veils.
Seven year old springtime
girls with pearly rosaries,
betrothed to the benevolent
Lord in spirit.
They receive the purity of
the Communion wafer
representing His covenant,
they are His lilies of lucent light. ~
A vicar once said to a nun
Why don’t you and me have some fun
She yawned and said, “Look,
I’ve got the good book,
So, just let me know when you're done.”

Shiny bright locks and all dressed in white.
Mother of Pearl prayer book,
Her hands, folded in prayer.
Such innocence,she is,Christ's delight...
Walks serenely up incense-scented stairs.
Music in Latin, fills the air.
Ave Maria!

The vibes we ride
the highs, the lows
conversations with
conclusive innuendos
Hypotheticals and
experiments
we engage in
acrobatics of
noun and verb duels
Your en garde
I fall hard
Butter knife
tongues
Eucharistic bread
the uncovering
of your body
unravels my
mentality
Intoxicatingly
sipping your
Lord have mercies
Amen and Amen
Tonight I drink the ruby wine
of God’s sublime name
my rosewood mala dangling
alluringly over my fingers
each bead calling Him
each sip of His precious
name a holy grail
a divine elixir
brewed in Heaven’s
vineyard
Drunk on a love
that the world can never
understand
I sing His name
and dance through the
moonlit streets
with Ramakrishna, Mira Bai
and all the crazy
God intoxicated Saints
