I Was Christopher This Morning…
Written by: Sister Mary Margaret Droege
Christopher, the Christ bearer
Carrying the Christ Child on his shoulders
Christopher, alive and active today
I was Christopher this morning
Through the healthcare halls
I the Christopher
I carried Jesus
First to those in chapel
From pew to pew
“The Body of Christ”
From chair to chair
“The Body of Christ”
I, Christopher
Walked the halls
Conscious of being Christopher
To those gathered in the solarium
“The Body of Christ”
Some hold out their hands
“The Body of Christ”
Others open their mouths
“The Body of Christ”
Some deep in sleep or in another world
A blessing: “The Body of Christ”
I, Christopher
Carrying the Christ
Bringing the Christ to others.
I was Christopher this morning.
