Eucharistic Meditations
Twenty Four
- Shut fast my eyes
And see at once the radiance within,
Enjoy the warmth
Of freedom from the ravages of sin:
Our penitence and praise are now repaid
Beyond whatever effort we have made. - Where music sounds
Absorb the heavenly harmony at play,
Where silence falls
Shut out distractions of the bustling day:
Think of the Eucharist which feeds the soul
And in that feeding truly keeps us whole. - Summon in prayer
Each tiny facet of the sacred gift,
The paradox
That humbling it ever more uplifts:
Absorb each sinew of its mighty power,
Keeping the moment, forsaking the hour.
