There is Truth

There is an article over at The Curt Jester, that speaks about the music that unfortunately has not been delightful. It makes a person wonder how many times the mute button has been pushed on the remote control.

Imagine

While I was doing the reflections for the stations of the cross, the words "I can only imagine" came across several times and also a few days before. For some reason the Holy Spirit has it's purpose in this regard. When I went in search of the lyrics I came across this youtube video of a father and son. I cried watching this as I thought how very much Jesus is right there too. I can only imagine in the very depths of my heart the suffering he went to save us. Those four words, I can only imagine, spoke volumes. Now on Holy Saturday, one can only imagine the depths he has gone for us as he lies in the darkness awaiting the morning light. When watching the video, think about how Jesus is the Father and we are the one he is doing everything for. Truly it is this way and it takes Jesus to push us, to carry us, to hold us close as we journey in our life. I can only imagine the depths of love he has for us to go to such lengths to show us his love

Panis Angelicus

I heard this song during communion at Mass today and did a search to find more about it. I came across this and the lyrics with a translation. It's absolutely beautiful.

Panis Angelicus sung by St. Philip's Boys Choir, UK

PANIS ANGELICUS
Cesar Franck

Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum;
O res mirabilis!
Manducat dominum

Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis.
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis.

HEAVENLY BREAD
Heavenly bread
That becomes the bread for all mankind;
Bread from the angelic host
That is the end of all imaginings.
Oh, miraculous thing!
This body of God will nourish

Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.
