They Told Me One Day...

Published on August 19, 2019

Automatic translation from Italian, under review.

They told me one day
that this body
is only cells in transformation.
Yet it is I who remain myself,
in this body,
which changes everything while remaining mine.
 
 
I contemplate in adoration
the great mystery
of the Eucharist.
Jesus, Living Bread,
unites me with himself.
Through this mystery
one day my body
will be clothed
in immortality.
 
 
I will see new heavens
and a new earth,
my body too,
now glorious,
will sing with all
creation
its liberation
in Christ the Lord.
