Into humankind he came; looked like every
Other baby; not far from every other
Needing love and nurturing, food: a nursling
Counting on Mary.
Joseph’s trade supplied his apprentice Jesus,
(Working like all others his age, not standing
Out) providing specification, standards;
Sanctification.
Mission territory is opened: Cana’s
Wedding feast, miraculous feats and nature
Circumvented, followers growing, the dead
Rising; now wanted.
Giving Body to eat Blood to drink he was
Hung; convicted criminal; like all others
Died but rose, ascending; from Heaven feeding;
Worshipers eating.
Coming here and down to us; told us he would
Come throughout the ages, without end, never
Ceasing, always saving, our Lord of patience,
Born as an infant.
Gary Edward Geraci
