Poem for the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ
[using the Second Reading: 1 Cor. 10:16-17]
 
Brothers and sisters:
No one, yes no one, is excluded. Never, ever.

The cup of blessing that we bless,
We bless. Not the priest, not the Pope. We!

Is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?
Blood is life-force, suffering, compassion, flow.

The bread that we break,
We break. Not the priest, not the Pope. We!

Is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
Key word: "participation" again -- wow!

Because the loaf of bread is one,
No one, yes no one is excluded. Never, ever.

We, though many, are one body,
No one, yes no one is excluded.

For we all partake of the one loaf.
Yes no one is excluded.
  
--Mark Schroeder, O.F.M.
