Jesus Christ is being crucified before you. He is on the Cross --- He is bleeding and He is dying. And you are witnessing it. You are even taking part in it!

Is it any wonder that some Catholic Churches have taken down the Crucifix and replaced it with a 'Risen Christ'. What is it they fear?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I adore thee, O Christ, and I bless thee,
for by thy holy cross thou has redeemed the world.




O Bread of life,
You who offer yourself
to feed this sad, sin-sick world,
who joins us anew,
day after day
the living God
who comes to us in so fragile a form
that even a child may partake,
waiting patiently for those who love him,
waiting patiently to cure our sin-sick souls
with the light of heaven,
O blessed Lord,
I come to you,
unworthy but summoned,
undeserving, but loved.
I long to say,
Feed me, cure me, heal me,
I who have failed you time and again,
Yet when I see you there,
broken, poured out,
waiting for me,
all I can do is fall on my knees
in grief at my imperfection,
in awe of the depths of your love,
and only say
I adore thee,
I love thee,
help me to love thee more.
