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.
