Eucharistic Meditations
Thirty Six
- Our God who blessed His Chosen People with a loving hand
And promised faithful Abraham a rich and pleasant land;
Now You have made a promise through the mission of Your Son
To greet Your faithful people when our earthly toils are done. - You saved Your Chosen People from their bondage and distress
And bade them yearly stand to eat the lamb of faithfulness;
Now we are rescued by The Lamb from sin and humbly kneel
To share the Eucharist in faith, our sacrificial meal. - You led Your Chosen People in the shape of smoke and fire,
Commanding them to keep Your Laws above their own desire;
Now Jesus leads us from the Tomb, shaped in the bread and wine,
Commanding love and selflessness to share in the divine.
