The Church –1976  Understanding

 

The total presence of Christ in Three

First,

The Bread of All life,

The One,

Second,

The People, like roots in a tree,

Third,

Priests, arms that lead to the Son.

 

And more,

 

Some say a building of four or more walls,

Others seem to think it is a school,

Some say it isn’t any of these at all,

Others say it is the present rule,

 

Yet,

 

I know it is the love of God

That gives us,

You and me,

The opportunity,

To put up with each other,

To open our hears to one another,

To give consideration,

More than just a glance,

To worship together with Christ,

Our God.

 

For sure,

 

We must have Life from the Bread,

We must celebrate the Mass together,

All our faults,

We must share,

As just one fault,

We can not bear,

 

Just one life,

We have forever,

Let’s live

In

the Church of the Bread.
