Fr. Seán ÓLaoire

You who are the gentle mother, watching while the great crises of our times are understood for what they really are.

Great opportunities for seeing beyond the separation into the oneness of business, our origin, our mission, and our home.

We honor you.

Are you a Creator God?

You are.

Do you design things intelligently?

You do.

Is it by evolution?

It is.

And so, since infinity is contained in a single grain of sand, we choose bread, and we choose the blood of the vine, symbols offered us by the Avatar, the God-man Jesus.

And with altered vision, we see back into his lifetime as a carpenter mystic, to the mystical core of his message, and beyond that, into the purpose of his coming.

Even at the greatest crisis time of that incarnation, on the night before he was cruelly killed, even then, he could reach into the core of his own being.

And using the food of his last meal with his friends, say,

Take this, all of you, and eat it.

This is my body.

The body which I accepted at my incarnation.

The body that I needed for my mission.

The body which is the visible sign of the Word made flesh.

And you also have done the same.

Remember that.
