Consagración del pan y el vino
Rolando Alárcon
Consecration of Bread and Wine
When you took the bread
in your hands, Christ,
looking up to the sky you said:
this is the proof that I exist.
To your disciples you gave
the sacred bread of life,
to each one their portion
you distributed in pieces.
Perhaps in a clay jar
you poured out your blood one day,
distributed it to the people,
quenched the thirst that was there.
And in red wine your blood
turned that time,
if you don't mind losing it
to the earth it shall return.
