EUCHARIST
The familiar words are spoken, I hear them
without hearing.
The familiar songs are sung, and my voice
follows the ruts of usage,
gestures are made, responses are offered
as always.
How can it be then, at the moment of union,
it is brand new?
Here is the true mystery.
What is old is made new; what is broken, restored,
And what was common bread and wine, has become our Lord.
