Eucharistic Meditations
Ten
- Noblest of Sacraments
Beyond compare
And wit of human telling,
Yet the material
Of our repair
But in such humble dwelling
As my poor soul whose weakness set the price
Of God's abiding love through sacrifice. - Harshest of punishments
Suffered for me
Whose recompense is stumbling,
Yet it was countenanced
In humility
Such that its words are humbling
To us who caused but celebrate the Cross,
Whose lot appeared to be eternal loss. - Basest of accidents,
The bread and wine
Your Sacred Body veiling,
Human accomplishments
Being made divine
Confirm the pact prevailing:
The sacred sequel of the Incarnation
Is Jesu's Eucharistic declaration.
