what is it?

toady's readings: Exodus 15:19 - 17:7, Matt 22:1-33, Psalm 27:1-6, Prov 6:20-26

rich mullins has an amazing song. it goes:

Though we're strangers, still I love you
I love you more than your mask
And you know you have to trust this to be true
And I know that's much to ask
But lay down your fears, come and join this feast
He has called us here, you and me
And may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls
This drought has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In the Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
And though I love you, still we're strangers
Prisoners in these lonely hearts
And though our blindness separates us
Still His light shines in the dark
And His outstretched arms are still strong enough to reach
Behind these prison bars to set us free
So may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls the drought has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In this Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
And may peace rain down from Heaven
Like little pieces of the sky
Like those little keepers of the promise
Falling on these souls the draught has dried
In His Blood and in His Body
In the Bread and in this Wine
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you
Peace to you
Peace of Christ to you

this song embodies our readings for today. we are invited to the wedding feast, like Jesus talks about. we join Him at this feast, and His body and His blood rain down on us, like little pieces of the sky. like manna from heaven. we ask ourselves "what is it?"

and He answers. I am.

Peace to you.
Peace of Christ to you.
