The Barque of Mother Church has weathered storms throughout the ages
Her wisdom grows each passing year through Christ-like saints and sages
Who contemplate her Founder’s Words upon red-lettered pages
Including words some list’ners- then and now- have found outrageous

*

“Eat my Flesh and drink my Blood and you’ll have life unending”
“This is my Body” and “my Blood”- Christ changed the bread and wine
Into His very Presence at that Supper- His Heart rending
And poured out His own Blood that we might with His presence shine

*
Christ offers lovers of His Heart His Presence at each Mass
And afterwards He stays with us, the tabernacle’s Guest
If scandals make you question, “Should I leave?” Recall our anchor:
The Eucharist! He’s there for us whenever we’re distressed
