Haiku for disputation
I am bread that lives
and gives life to the whole world;
life that comes from God.
He offends them, this
Johannine Jesus; speaking
of his flesh and blood.
Only Eucharist
can make sense of these sayings.
That, and his dying.
True food, and true drink,
my very self in flesh, blood;
I am here for you.
Eat of me; take me
deeply inside you, find me
in all your living
Take me deep within;
my body, blood, and my words.
You shall truly live.
You, who are my friends,
I live in you, you in me;
multiplying life.
