This day we remember the Body and Blood.
The Body was offered,
it was blessed and dedicated,
it was broken,
and it was give to us.
As a young person in the Episcopal church
I was taught a deceptively simple rhyme
crafted by Queen Elizabeth I:
Twas God the Word that spake it.
He took the Bread and brake it.
And what the word did make it,
That I believe, and take it.
God the Word made flesh
took bread,
gave thanks and declared over it a new reality,
and in the breaking of that bread,
the reality was released to us,
and we can receive it.
