Eucharistic Eulogy
Imagine the Last Supper, all seated for their meal,
all in trepidation, but one away was soon to steal.
When Judas had departed, Christ them all perturbs.
He breaks the bread and blesses it, then says the precious words;
"This now is My body, and the wine My Blood instead."
No longer was the food, merely simply bread!
Now the flesh of Jesus, His blood… no longer wine!
Christ within all people, He our Lord divine!
Humbly entering our bodies, part of everyone!
"Always in memory of Me, I say this it must be done!
The thought He loves us truly, overwhelming to take on board.
Those present there with Jesus, how their spirits must have soared.
Do we really understand, the enormity of this deed?
At every opportunity, we should on Jesus feed.
No vegetarians we now, on Christ's nourishment fed.
The Eucharistic Feast, brings joy for the tasks ahead.
Thank you dearest Lord, for loving me in this way.
May I live my life, praising You in every way. Cjs.
