Corpus Christi «I will be your bread»
I’ll be with you every day.
At any time and in any place.
Always. It is my word and my promise.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
I will be your way of life,
the light that you shine your nights and days,
the water that you cool in your fatigue,
the door that gives you entry and reception,
the vitalizing root of all your companies,
the friend and guide who will always make you company…
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
But also I will be, and do not be caught by surprise
the fire that purifies your being and belongings,
the wind that pushes you always forwards,
The truth that breaks all your schemes,
the thief who thins and lightens you
and the Lord that you want in the Earth.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
And this is the formula of my ultimate Alliance
with you and the whole of humanity:
ye shall be my body visible
and my blood that gives life;
and I will be the bread that feeds you
and wine that makes you happy and excited.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
I will feed your body
and your rejected hope
i will maintain your flame and love
and will make you strong against suffering
I invite you to grow and mature
up to that time.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord.
You will rise, there where they live
the sign of a God committed to all,
being bread made flesh,
wine turned into blood,
body and true Word
and embodiment in our history.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
Mystery of human and divine intimacy!
You will be, from now on, my Easter
My tender and saving presence
My incarnation on Earth,
the good news that all crave,
the scoop of what to expect.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
My arms to encircle solitudes,
my mouth to cry out against secular injustices
That stick in the flesh of the week
my feet to go after the lost and forgotten,
my heart to beat in unison
with all the hearts that falter.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
I’ll be with you every day.
At any time and in any place.
Always. It is my word and my promise-.
It is your Word and your promise, Lord
