Repairing The Breach

In the 1960s, Sydney Carter, wrote a song which to me captures the heart of this narrative, two of the verses read: Said Jesus to Mary, “Your love is so deep today, you may do as you will. Tomorrow, you say, I am going away, but my body I leave with you still.” he said, “ My body I leave with you still.” “The poor of the world are my body,” he said, “to the end of the world they shall be. The bread and the blanket you give to the poor, you’ll know you have given to me. he said,” You’ll know you have given to me.” Embrace #25 - Carol Aust 82
