We Come to Your Feast

We place upon your table
a humble loaf of bread,
the gift of field and hill-side,
the grain by which we’re fed.
We come to taste the Presence
of Him on whom we feed,
to strengthen and connect us
to love in word and deed.

We come to your feast,
to love in word and deed.
We come to your feast
with the fruit of our lands
and the work of our hands,
we come to your feast.

“My grace is enough for you:
My power is at it’s best in weakness”
(Second Reading)

FROM FAILURE UP
Can a man grow from the dead clod of failure
Some consoling flower
Something humble as a dandelion or a daisy,
Something to wear as a buttonhole in Heaven?
Under the flat, flat grief of defeat maybe
Hope is a seed.
Maybe this’s what he was born for, this hour
Of hopelessness.
Maybe it is here he must search
In this hell of unfaith
Where no one has a purpose
Where the web of Meaning is broken threads
And one man looks at another in fear.
O God can a man find You when he lies with his face downwards
And his nose in the rubble that was his achievement?
Is the music playing behind the door of despair?
O God give us purpose.
Patrick Kavanagh
