SACRAMENTS

 

The son of God said,

"This is my flesh

and this is my blood.

How do you want it cooked?"

"Medium rare," I told him,

"and go easy on the blood."

"French fries?"

"A few."

"How about a small salad?"

"That would be nice."

"You see what I'm trying to do?"

"No, I don't," I told him.

"Well, I'm trying to

bring the sacraments into

every day life. And

at the same time,

make them more graphic.

So nobody wants to eat

flesh if it's uncooked.

And then the wafer-

I just expand two of them

and I have a bun."

"Unleavened?"

"Well, we don't want to

run it into the ground."

"Can I have some onions

on your flesh?"

"Of course.

But you do understand now?"

I want to bring the sacraments

into everyday life,

make them as common as

a hamburger."

"Kind of a McJesus," I said.

"You got it."
