In My Brother’s Eyes

I saw Christ, the love of the savior
in my brother’s eyes, sharing the supper
deeply moved, the intimacy of being the ones
to give the bread, to pass the cup
in this holy place, on this holy ground
living in community, as the eleven did
focused on the reading, the fellowship
the study and discussion of the word
finding our God anew in this circle
this collection of brothers brought together
for this purpose, by God’s guiding hand
Seeing my savior in his eyes
as he thanked me
looking me in the eye
for letting him wash my feet
sharing Holy Communion with him
serving him this time
