The Company of Friends

I walk in the company of saints.

Faith opens my heart revealing Truth,
As Eucharist brings enlightenment.

Hope opens my eyes to gaze on Past
And throws light upon the future.

With Jesus in the fore,
My saints say, “Follow me.”

Holy friends, pray for me.

On the mountain of Your Holiness,
You commanded,
“You give them something to eat.”

What have I that would feed,
And satisfy so many?
You give to me,
In steady supply.

You are my All.
In You, I believe,
It is You, I adore,
And from You, I draw my hope,
And loving trust.

You have fulfilled Your promise,
Feeding me with the finest wheat, the Eucharistic Wheat,
Made Bread, most holy,
Your body and Your Blood.

“Give them something to eat.”

What have I that would feed,
And satisfy so many?
I will give them my Treasure,
My Only Good.

As life flowing from this temple
Flow from me,
To water,
And sup with humanity all about me.

Cause of My Rejoicing

Not a voice from beyond,
Not an apparition,
Outside myself,
But You, my God,
Here with me,
Here in me,
So, I rejoice in awe,
O, Gift Divine.
