Facing the Corporal

A priest’s prayer...

If I set the table
will you here abide?
Is this small space able,
just four hand-breadths wide,
by your Word,
blessed Lord,
for you at my side?

Heaven cannot hold you,
Solomon once said.
Can this plate and can this cup,
can this wine, this bread?
By your Word,
blessed Lord,
here I lift you up.

    Thank you, Mimi. The first stanza popped into my head this morning before worship, and the second afterwards. Then I realized it was post 1000. Something must have been clicking... ;-)
