Daily Guidance - January 10

Seeing Our Lady of Charity

reminded me of the song,

"Where Charity and Love Prevail.

Chorus:

Where Charity and Love Prevail,

there God is ever found.

Brought here together by Christ's love,

by love are we thus bound.

With grateful joy and holy fear

God’s charity we learn;

Let us with heart and mind and soul

now love God in return.

Forgive we now each other’s faults

as we our faults confess;

And let us love each other well

in Christian holiness.

Let strife among us be unknown,

let all contention cease;

Be God’s the glory that we seek,

be ours God’s holy peace.

Let us recall that in our midst

dwells God’s begotten Son;

As members of his body joined,

we are in Christ made one.

No race or creed can love exclude,

if honored be God’s name;

Our family embraces all

whose Father is the same.

Text: Ubi Caritas, tr. Omer Westendorf (1961)

Tune: CHRISTIAN LOVE, CM, by Paul Benoit (1961)

Remembrance - Day 29 of 40

I read recently that the cave of our heart is our soul

and I do so love the song by that name

by John Michael Talbot.

Both of these women loved me in that tenderest of places... deeply and well. ❤️

Hamilton

Curious and on a whim, I checked out the "Hamilton" Broadway recording from our library.

The first time thru the first cd, I thought "I'm turning this in because I just don't understand

the words."

But the music and the lyrics were catchy and, not having any plans to stop back by the

library soon, it stayed in Betsy's CD player so I kept listening to it.

Then Friday night Tadd drove us somewhere and I wanted to share a couple of songs that

were becoming my favorites. Plus, she adds with a twinkle, with him being a big history

buff, I figured he could probably help me make sense of it.

Sure enough, between being able to ask questions and me not driving so I could concentrate

on the words, I began to really enjoy both the music and the story even more.

Who knew?

In fact, I haven't even started disc 2 yet. I'm still enjoying the first one so much and with

each time thru, not only do I catch a little more, I also become more and more impressed

with Lin-Manuel Miranda and his Gift of music, wit and making history both fun and

interesting.
