The Way of Peace...

The way of Peace

Leads me

Toward the altar of God

With head bent and

Hands folded in prayer

I humbly pray,

"Holy Spirit, please

Cleanse my heart to

Prepare for Him

A clean dwelling"

There before me is

His priest son,

Caressing in
his anointed hands...

Jesus
The Eucharist
Jesus

"Body of Christ."

"Amen"

I open my mouth

There, on my tongue, is placed
The Bread of Angels

Slowly I walk back to my place

Among the faithful,

Inside my heart, I pray...

"May I be made worthy of

The promises of Christ.

And as I am able, Lord,

May I help others join me,

To walk this path...

The way of Peace."
