The Crypt
Benediction
A pungent yet sweet smelling
waft of incense. The worshipers
chant response. Words loving
God rise up to heaven.
The monstrance sparkles in
the candle light. A lone
voice intones Tantum ergo
sacramentum veneremur cernui.
The priest with a voice clear
and deep is singing Benediction.
The altar server tenderly
holds the priest's humeral veil.
Worshipers respond
to the everlasting Father
honor, blessings, glory,
endless praise and adoration.
A pungent yet sweet smelling
waft of incense. Worshipers
chant response. Words loving
God rise up to heaven.
