Celebrating Advent
Holy Communion

In this moment, I see you, marked with your cross.
You always see me, marked with your cross.
For a moment, I hold you in my hands.
You always hold me in your hands.
The next moment, I lay you on my tongue,
so that you can enter my heart.
You place me inside your heart, transforming me in you.
In every moment, I understand so little of this mystery, but
You have understood from the foundation of the world
how it would be:
An eternal moment,
The consummation of all Love
In uncreated Light that
Swallows up my darkness.

About the Author
Twenty years ago, Geraldine Guadagno bailed out of a job in Finance, only to find that her parachute was made out of lead, not gold. Thanks to her husband, she made a soft landing, and hit the ground running, pursuing a long-postponed dream of writing for children. She also writes occasionally for adults. Sometimes, she finds poetry in the everyday. God has granted her success mostly in the Catholic genre, and she is grateful to Him. Geraldine was educated in Catholic school for 12 years and later completed Catechist 101 training. Find out more about her at geriguadagno.com.
