“Do not labor for the food
that perishes,
but for that which endure.”[1]
He broke bread on the night
He was betrayed and abandoned –
the start of a shameful death
“His love was without measure…
Ingratitude
did not cause Him to falter.”[2]
The Cenacle is radiant
but without Communion,
all is darkness.
Yes, with Eucharist
a great treasure is shared
all is light.
A gift is given…
greater than any wealth,
greater than any holdings.
“The treasure houses of the sea
of the earth and of the sky
can not contain it.”[3]
