Eucharist of the Ordinary

We seldom notice how each day is a holy place

Where the Eucharist of the ordinary happens

Transforming our broken fragments

Into an internal continuity that keeps us

             

John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us, The inner history or a day

_________________________________________

we come into the world unformed

children of the Sacred

undefined except by our Divine heritage

we are both visible and invisible

our bodies growing and being formed

and so too

our minds, and yes,

our souls

each day we live

is part of the creative process

with Sacred Presence

working within us

communion lived out

in small things

in a mother’s hug

in the rising of the sun

in the beauty of May flowers

each day we live,

being formed and re-formed,

our Sacred nature

is gradually becoming visible

sometimes, indeed,

becoming blurred

as we lose connection

and become fragmented

but always

with the rising of the sun

we are reclaimed

and reformed

and the journey continues

and we begin

and begin

again
