While Fr. AP is away, he has chosen this passage for you to enjoy:
Bread, wine and gentleness
Be gentle
When you
Touch bread.
Let it not lie
Uncared for,
Unwanted:
So often bread
Is taken for granted.
There is such beauty
In bread
Beauty of sun and soil,
Beauty of patient toil.
Wind and rain have caressed it,
Christ often blessed it.
Be gentle
When you touch bread.
Be loving
When you drink wine.
So freely received
And joyfully shared
In the spirit of him who cared.
Warm as a flowing river,
Shining and clear as the sun.
Deep as the soil
Of human toil.
The winds and rain caressed it.
Christ often blessed it.
Be loving
When you drink wine.
May God bless you, your families, and the week ahead,
Fr Aidan Peter
