Sprinkled into wine 
To banish dark memories 
Red wine mixed with myrrh 
Infused with pink salt 
Through wisdom
Praise!...

Down, down to the Earth, 
hide your shameful face. 
What is a man without grace? 
But an Animal 
insane and base. 
Fight your inner demons
with your mind. 
Free yourself to fly
Up, up to the sky....

Framed twixt thumbs and fingertips
in Earth shadow bloody red
torn from sky and placed on lips
eucharist now for the dead.

The Sacraments of Christian Initiation
Baptism, Confirmation and the Holy Eucharist
Lay the foundation of every Christian life

Faithful are born anew by Baptism, 
Strengthened by Confirmation 
Receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life

To receive increasing measures
The divine life
Advance toward the perfection of charity

The Holy Grail is a woman seated next to The Divine Being they say
Mary Magdalene, lifted by God’s Own Finger
I thought it was the Cup, the Cup of Sorrow.
Would  the Blood which takes away the Sin come so cheap.
When the Vessel which was to bear it  had to be so Pure.
Why would God need a Royal Blood Line ?
When we all receive the Blood of Christ at the Eucharist
Does not it make us all ROYAL ?...

.       SINNER OR SAINT
Sitting at the back pew in church,
I looked to the front and beheld a familiar figure,
Is it not the drunkard of Miles street?
Is it not the smoker of all types?
He was in  queue for the holy eucharist,
And his gaze fixed to the cross in the altar,
I contemplated "is he a sinner or saint"?
Let our Heavenly Father judge.

EUCHARIST SUNDAY, WITH AGUA TO THE ROOTS

                                                                        (Questing a Grail)

                                                                  By John T Haupt


The raindrops fall down
All around
Pounding down upon the ground.
Drippingly sounding sweetly to me,
Filling up cups of the leaves on the trees.
On this Sunday take I my ease.
May I have a cup of wine please?...

She has the halo of the martyr.
 She saved her nation and the Crown –
 a warrior soul,
 though only a child.
 
She commanded the army, 
gave courage even to the king –
 prodigy of history
 in woman’s arm.
 
Her great victories
 and the glory
 are her virtues, her suffering
 and true love.
 
They condemned her at the stake
 as the witch, before burning –
 priest Eucharist gave to her
 and they burned alive her flesh.

Sacred Secrets

Somethings are so special,
They just cannot be penned.
Like the true beauty of the
jasmine.
Or how profoundly the depth
and love of your man.

Somethings supersede imagery,
words or similes.
Too sacred to be written or
expressed.
It's just you, leaning closely in
God's ear....
Whispering your life's personal eucharist!

*Greek origin. Eucharistia meant a giving 
of thanks, gratitude, etc.

Ah! The poetic soul – 
indeed a beloved symphony
to image and caress;

a painting only a master's
hand could render, thus
profess, each stroke the
hand of angels and gods
at their worst and best

the poetic soul a vessel,
a Eucharist the poet alone
can fully address, approach
the sacred wine within, 

tilt such divine vessel toward 
his trembling lips, with words
overflowing – and loudly 
confess: I am guilty! Unrepentant! 

And the world can have
your redeemable rest.......
