Offsite Post: ‘The Physics of the Liturgy’

The Holy Liturgy

Is heavy with reality.

Divinity is densest there,

The giant mass

Of the Body

Of God, present

In the little

Portions of bread and wine,

Creates a bend

In the unseen realms,

Around which hosts

Of angels wheel,

Countless multitudes

Of saints bow low,

And the gathered faithful

On the earth stand and sing.

 

The power of God

Reverberates throughout

The cosmos from thousands

Of these points, resting

Upon the holy altars,

The pillars that uphold

The universe, like Atlas

In the tales of old,

 . . .

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
