A Catechism of Brokenness

 

The celebrant breaks the Body in two

The Body is broken

The celebrant is broken

The communicant is broken

 

Only the Word is whole: “This is My Body…”

 

The celebrant breaks the Body in two

That it may be shared

Broken again

And shared further along

 

Only the Word is whole: “This is My Body…”

 

The Celebrant breaks the Body in two

That in the sequenced brokenness

In all the little broken Pieces

One-ness may come
