You’d Like to Meet Jesus?

*You’d like to MEET Jesus, not just in your heart?

Then HEAR Him at Mass in the readings proclaimed

Reflect on His words for they healing impart

Then through your own ears will your heart be inflamed

 

*You want to HEAR Jesus, not just in His Word?

Then go to Confession, and hear the priest mend you

He’ll say, “I absolve you”! Your love will be stirred

You’ll echo His Mercy to those who offend you

 

*You’d like to SEE Christ, with the eyes in your head?

Then see Him at Mass in His “humble disguise”

There gaze on His Face in the “Breaking of Bread”

Then you will drink deep of his love with your eyes

 

*You want to TOUCH Christ, His true Body that bled?

Receive from His Altar His Holy Communion

Each time you TASTE Christ in His sweet “Daily Bread”

His Presence fulfills your deep longing for union

 

*Then sent from the Mass, you’ll have strength to soon TOUCH Him

For each hungry mouth that you feed is His own

And each suff’ring hand that you hold lets you clutch Him

And each shiv’ring man that you cloth: His love shown

 

*You’d like to go MEET the true spouse of your soul?

Then HEAR, SEE and TOUCH Him at Mass as you pray

Confession as well lets His voice make you whole

Next, TOUCH Him by serving the “least”- Go today!
