HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?


NEARLY TWO THOUSAND YEARS SINCE MY SON'S BIRTH HAVE PASSED,
AND HE'S STILL BEING TREATED AS IF HE WERE AN OUTCAST.
THE BLOOD THAT HE SHED ON THE CROSS SINCE HAS DRIED;
YET EACH DAY BY YOUR DEEDS HE IS STILL CRUCIFIED.

EVEN IN CHURCH WHERE HE SHOULD BE ADORED,
YOU EXPECT ENTERTAINMENT SO YOU WOULD NOT BE BORED.
MORE ATTENTION IS FOCUSED ON CURRENT EVENTS
THAN ON GOD AND WHAT HE AT EACH MASS REPRESENTS.

WHEN HIS BODY AND BLOOD YOU APPROACH TO PARTAKE,
WHAT GESTURE OF HONOR TO YOUR GOD DO YOU MAKE?
HIS BODY IS PRESENT AND HIS BLOOD IS REAL
IN EACH HOST YOU RECEIVE DURING EACH PASCAL MEAL.

WHEN YOU APPROACH MY SON'S ALTAR, DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE THERE?
DO YOU KNOW THAT HIS PRESENCE YOU ARE ABOUT TO SHARE?
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TREAT MY SON WITH RESPECT?
DO YOU AT LEAST BOW YOUR HEAD OR PERHAPS GENUFLECT?

THERE ARE SO VERY FEW WHO STILL TRULY BELIEVE
THAT GOD'S BODY AND BLOOD THEY'RE ABOUT TO RECEIVE.
SOMEDAY WHEN YOU SEE YOUR GOD FACE TO FACE,
YOU WILL KNOW HOW YOUR ACTIONS MY SON DID DISGRACE.

MY DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN, FOR GOD'S GRACES TO FLOW
YOUR GOD AND CREATOR IN YOUR HEART YOU MUST KNOW.
DO NOT WITH INDIFFERENCE MY SON GLORIFY
FOR GOD IN THE END YOUR REWARDS MAY DENY.
