Meditation on the Eucharistic Jesus
I see you Lord
In your servant's hands
lifted up high at the elevation.
There you are,
Lord of the universe
in guise of bread,
flour and water,
staff of life,
food of the poor.
O Source of life,
Emmanuel,
God with us.
An amazement,
that in your love,
you came for us,
you died for us,
and now
you feed us
with your own precious self,
like a pulsing of blood
from your own Sacred Heart
through we who are your body on earth.
Lord,
waiting to receive you,
we stand
like empty lanterns
waiting for the flame
that will bring light
to those around us.
If we could see with heaven's eyes,
the light burning in your priest's hands
would dazzle us
with the cascading flame
come to heal and fill us all.
May we who receive you
glow with your light,
ready to share your peace,
your joy,
your love with the waiting world.
