this communion prayer was written by theoldbill, inspired by leonard cohen's poem 'god is alive'. it's incredibly simple but that is part of its beauty...
Word becomes flesh
flesh becomes bread
bread becomes body
body becomes wordGod is bread
bread is broken
pain becomes wine
wine becomes joyWine bursts the wineskins
God bursts the tomb
bread bursts into songHoly, holy, holy. . . .

Beautiful indeed, JB. Thanks for shaing it. And I usually don't like poetry at all. Peace.

Or maybe we could learn from Saint Rafa who says: 'You've got to keep fighting to the end and keep believing to the end'

I have read this prayer before and I would like to use it in our worship service. I think it has more to it than this. Can you tell me where I can find the entire prayer?
