This songs and many others. Such as “be not afraid” have provided me with hope and the knowledge that God will heal me to do his will and honor him. I am going through chemo that takes all day and physically and emotionally wiped me out due to stage 4 cancer But I am pleased to have this cancer as God is in charge. People have it a lot worse I always remember God doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle Praise to God and our Lord Jesus Christ
Someone told me when I was singing, When you sing, you pray twice.it's a lovely thought and A beautiful song like 'Blest are They' stays with us. I find you do sing it over in your heart. Special during this difficult time in 2020.
This song reminds me that no matter what no matter how sad,mad,annoyed with any thing God has forgiven us and once we pass on from this world we go to the eternal home of heaven and we have too appreciate the little things. God has known how our lives will play out the fun times , sad times , and mad times,but he gave us life on this earth so we can live with him and our loved ones eternally in paradise
No matter what David Hass did, please let these beautiful and inspiring songs stay The art and the music are much bigger than we, faults or not, and no saints even were perfect no matter what Haas did Keep the songs please, Catholic Church Thank you
@@gwan_git using the same logic, a number of popes had lovers, male and females, even boys, and some, re the medici family, were murderers(and fomented wars via the papal states) and with that logic we should prob dismantle and close the Catholic Chuch entirely, so whatever Haas did, again, is no relection on the music itself, which stands on its own, and has been used for years in the Church litergy
David Haas, has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 44 women and had admitted to this, it is a disservice to the women he assaulted to keep playing his music in masses, please if you hear his music talk to the choir leader about not using David Haas. David used this exact song to rape women, I would appreciate if you thought about that when you hear this song.
I remember my Grandpa singing this in Church as a child. He had such a deep, thundering voice. He wasnt a great singer but it doesnt take a good singing voice to make a warm, sweet memory! What i would give go back and hear that one more time, and have his arm around me in that pew during Mass. I loved him so dearly.
I am very touched by your grandfather singing I also have great memories of when we would all sing in unison these beautiful songs, occasionally a priest with the voice of David Haas, like an angel, would sing solo, and mass then became magical at that point
Omg I do to my gma and I cry to this hole 60 songs I'd look at her in my dress on Sunday and she be singing and look down and smile bak at me I can just hear her voice in these songs singing with me rip grandma stella garcia member of st.cecilias parish in san antonio tx rip her n my gpa Alfred Rodriguez she was one strong woman the rock of the family I need her now more than ever please stand by me guide me to do right keep me away from wrong and please I ask for all ur strength in jesus christ our lord amen! And thank you and I ❤️ you
Emotional 😭 heartbreak to losing a loved one, friend or acquaintance. Or a reunion of old acquaintances and friends you’ve known since your whole life and elementary and middle school level
Last Sunday.. they asked my family and I to deliver the gifts (the wine and bread) at the altar.. while people were walking up to receive the host and right after I had recieved mine, I knelt on the pews and I remember asking God, in my head, .."I don't deserve you, I don't deserve to be your child...I feel like I've done some bad things in my life and I don't know why I deserve your love. 2 seconds after, the choir sung this song " Rejoice and be glad. Blessed are you, Holy are you."
This song brings tears to my eyes. This song was sung at the funerals of four of my friends who passed away due rare forms of cancer. 3 of them were 9 years of age and were within 1 1/2 months or less of their 10th birthdays and the other was 8 1/2 years of age and he died last month. RIP Chase, Kayden, E.J., and Brodie.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (November 7, All Saints' Sunday), we sang this as our Hymn of the Day. It is #728 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. May God bless all those who have gone before us.
I LOVE CATHOLIC HYMNSAND JUST SING SO LOUDLY IN PRAISE N THANKSGIVING TO ALMIGHTY GOD WHOM I LOVE THEE AND MOST HOLY SON JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL THY SOUL!!!
Christ speaks and expresses Himself to those who come near to Him. Roman Catholics have written some phenomenal new songs. Protestants have composed thousands of Sacred Hymns that teach the theology of the Cross and Resurrection. One of the most famous hymn is “Amazing Grace” it tells of Gods willingness to forgive when we repent.
It’s been 10 years but I feel the same right now and I need to be closer to god he did everything for me gave me life have me a amazing family a home and made the whole universe he is the greatest person of all time and all we can do is REJOICE AND BE GLAD!❤️✝️
I'm an alter server and this is one of my favorite songs I love listening and singing to. Like at my church, I'd definitely sing this one. I can feel God in me so much and connect or see Him in my heart and mind :)
An altar in a church is spelled differently then to alter (to change) the robe of the altar server. English is a very confusing language because it includes many words from other languages with different spelling rules.
I received inspiration to search for Blest Are They song today. This song lyrics are so beautiful. I love the chorus "Rejoice and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God! May God bless you!
Thank you for sharing this gem. I have such great memories of singing this song in Mass with my family. The Holy Spirit of God is with us. He gives us great comfort. May the Peace of Christ be with you and your families.
I was grateful I was able to pick out the music for my fathers funeral I was glad to see the bereavement group I have to go to the next one too see if my experience can help anyone going through it alone just saying 🍀🙏❤️💯
This man's voice imparts a sublime interior quality to this favorite hymn, where so many either power through it or turn it too treacly. And when he joins with the choir, his voice is like wings of The Spirit lifting their vocals without pushing them. So beautifully done. Thanks for sharing this. A Blessed Lent to all.
They are just being trolls. If they didn't care for this kind of music or style then they simply wouldn't have bothered clicking on the video or disliking. They are simply trying to make people mad. Happens with everything online.
I love the Catholic church because it is the most buetiful church in the world we have the angels the saints our blessed mother but most of all we have Jesus we receive Jesus in the sacrement of holy communion amen
moved to tears i love this song sang it in my church, and in the choir. also sang this for my sisters funeral. she loved this song was always sing it. God Rest her Soul,
This is one of the hymns that I chose for my mother's Memorial Mass when she passed away in 2015. I sing in our church's choir and they always sing it so beautifully... rest in peace, Mom. 💕
What a beautiful song for our Gr 6 Graduation Mass, and especially since the Beatitudes are 1 of the very important lessons our graduating students need to learn before they finish their last year in Grade School here in Campus Evangelization Learning Center. May they spend the rest of their lives singing this beautiful song in their hearts.
David Haas, has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 44 women and had admitted to this, it is a disservice to the women he assaulted to keep playing his music in masses, please if you hear his music talk to the choir leader about not using David Haas.
@LaserdiscOrganistAmericanOrgan I don't think it's fair to call Mark jealous. David H has admitted to all allegations and has since apologised. Let's pray for David as this is definitely 'little nick's' hand work. 🙏
Just remember. Truly being blessed in this way comes with many sorrows: very beautiful to the viewer and honored by the church through beatification. To carry this blessing through life; however, comes with pain few will ever understand. Normally it means no wife, no husband, no children, no one to hold them when they suffer the slings and arrows of the crueler things in life. They are simply alone their entire life as they come to know it was never really about them because they already belong to God. No, it was about the ones God chooses to touch by way of His grace and mercy poured out to them while the “blessed” suffers to help “Us” see the shining face of God. Perhaps we should say a little prayer for those currently in this world who suffer so that others might glimpse upon God! But such things are ultimately up to God.
What an incredibly warm and soothing and clear voice David Haas has. He sings all the messages in the most beautiful way. Rejoice and be glad, your is the Kingdom of God.
Now if the rest of the Population of the Dominion of Canada could be more Religious it maybe be possible it could possibly Become a lot more happier Country and it would become a lot more Happier Environment to live in as well as to work in. Its high time this Country had more love and compassion towards those that are the Disabled and as well as towards the 1st Nations Peoples and this is their land and its now our turn to give it to them Back right here and now and Right Now. At Least you would get a lot more fairer shake with them being the ones to run this Nation this Nation is theres and this is also their land and it would be much better ran by them instead of the idiots running it now. Thank you and have a good Day. Yours Most Sincerely David W Glavin Burnaby BC
I remember sitting on the pavement with my group in a faith retreat at my old catholic school. We all just got silent, and heard the 3rd graders practicing church songs in the music room, they were singing this. I'm not really religious anymore but this song reminds me of that extreme peaceful moment where I just did not have a care in the world.
+Joseph Drzazynski Indeed! At least it's not overdone, unlike some songs I've heard over the years. Some tend to get a little over the top to my liking. My boyfriend and I went to an alleged non-denominational church service for bikers and it was the worst thing we had been to and we're not all that religious either. Sure, they spoke nonstop giving theatric type testimonials and singing songs that were too overdone to our taste and liking, but we couldn't get into it all that much. But at least we can go to Mass and it feels more relaxed and totally refreshing. And when one attends a black church, one feels like dancing in the aisles and give God the glory. At least they're sincere and when one gets grabbed by the Spirit in the pulpit it moves one to tears, at least me anyway! But these so called 'born again Christians' and their ilk (plus reading between the lines about their self-righteous ways), you can't help but wonder and feel sorry for them, especially the way they bad-mouth anyone outside their own fold or dare I say, clique! These include mainline Protestants (Methodist, Episcopalians, etc), Eastern Orthodox Christians and of course, their favorite punching bag...Roman Catholics! They treat Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians as if we were the duped generation. If they only knew! I do find it refreshing, however, that some of them have come to their senses and realized the errors of their ways, especially those who have had to be 'deprogrammed' and even mention some of the tactics and Pavlovian type tricks they use to draw people into their belief system and spirituality...and yet they have the audacity to turn around and call our churches a cult and its followers supporters of the Great Whore of Babylon! So sad and yet so true! I keep praying for those people that they too will take into account the errors of their ways and will be led back home into the true Catholic and Orthodox faith of their ancestors and be received into the welcoming arms of Jesus Christ, His loving Mother Mary and all the company of the Angels and Saints!
It wants more of itself Part 1 Now in my 63rd year, I have seen a great many ideas of my youth fall to the reality and truth of this life while searching to understand my own humanity. Plagued by a few traumatic brain injuries as a baby, youth and even more head injuries as a young adult I quickly fell behind my age group’s normal development while developing unhealthy ways of compensating for my deficits. I remember thinking, about 30 years ago, how I got such a raw deal in life. My younger brothers had families of their own. Many of my childhood and young adult friends had moved on while I was still stuck in a world that made little sense to me. I felt hopeless and just wanted it all to end. Much like everything else I wanted; however, I was even denied a speedy dispatchment from this world regardless of my many attempts to get someone pissed off enough to do me in. I became stuck in a hopeless cycle of hatred for myself. That cycle would see me through years of self-mutilating debauchery by day, and pitiful sorrow while bitterly weeping in my bed at night for the end. No one understood my suffering because on the surface it looked as though I was insane. Those still close to me, and claimed to love me, could not help either because people simply don’t help the insane, they only try to manage them. I had no idea that I was all alone back then. Was not until all my real family died did I begin to understand I was truly alone. Those that still claim to love me only do so as one might expect someone to love a still insane sibling. This stigma still follows me to this day. Now-a-days, I am nearly 8 years sober. Many of the insane behaviors have succumb to more wholesome behaviors. I have had the time to catch up, in a way, to my contemporaries. At the beginning of my sobriety, I was offered a promising career at my local VA hospital, a wonderful job with the local establishment that has been a cornerstone of my sobriety, opportunities that promised management, and a variety of other positions that could raise me from a lower to a higher socioeconomic status as well as become an esteemed member of my community. All attempts failed because they all had one thing in common. I would need to, at some point, make my happiness by confiscating the happiness of others. The cruelty of this world is something I thought I knew. For me; however, the cruelty became my inability to tear down anyone else for my better income or higher esteem in my community. This had been done to me my whole life and I would be damned for sure if I did this to another simply because I now had the tools to do so. All those years behind my age group has given me something many of my contemporaries have failed to see. A thing begets more of itself. My desire for a higher status in life is my desire for equality; yet I must also seek that equality at all cost to anyone that may get in my way. Those that hold the keys to raise me to that higher position will not let it be any other way. I am still stunned by that revelation. So many years running in place and going toward nowhere had caused a form of weariness I had never known; yet, it has also given me a form of strength not yet expressed. Simply stated; there is nothing I could have ever done to change my life that could not have easily been undone by those that see me as a threat to their way of life. The higher socioeconomic status as well as being an esteemed member of my community would have always fallen to the waist side because this is who I was meant to be. It just took all these years to find me in the mess and I am grateful it took so long because I now have all these years of experience that now make sense. I was guarded from the rat race for a purpose that is yet to be defined while having no memories of legally getting what I want at another’s expense. This process I went through has excluded me in many ways so I don’t claim some higher morality because if I had been caught up with or even surpassed my age group, who knows how I might have taken advantage of that luxury. And please don’t get me wrong. I did, and still will, infringe on someone elses happiness when they try to infringe on mine; so, I am no saint. I’ve just learned that my early head injuries, supposed insanity, underdeveloped cognitive, social, moral and communication skills were just part of the process that make me the man I was always meant to be. And with that, I have great insight to the human condition which also includes the idea that a thing begets more of what it is. Power begets power, control begets control, hubris begets hubris. A thing begets more of its self. I really don’t know why this happens save that people are hopelessly flawed when it comes to perceived self-preservation. However, love begets love, freedom begets freedom and humility begets even more humility which tends to also attach itself to the idea of our collective humanity being an expression of perceived self-preservation as well. I have seen good things grow as well as bad in our society; and, through it all, the bad is winning simply because the bad is more prevalent. We are taught, from a very young age, that to stay in control of our own life we must seek an education, we must find a good job, we must seek the group of higher esteem and the list goes on. And if we are successful in our pursuit for independence it will help keep us in control of our own destinies. This process lends itself to the idea of accumulating more knowledge, wealth and self-esteem; which in turn, lends itself to the idea of a class system of who and what group is better than the next. We live in a society that frowns on the open expression of the class system for we have come to learn that it is not congruent with our ideas of freedom and fair play here in the United States. However, that expression is alive and well and mostly expressed covertly making it unseen as it continues to grow in epic proportions while demanding more of itself to continue to live. This process affects us all and without this process seeing the light of day it has grown darker throughout the generations. This is nothing new, however. Every generation throughout the history of societal control has some form of expressing their lack of empathy for those of a lower class. I am simply saying that, in our times, we have mastered the process by keeping it silent and just provide for those not able to survive in our shark tank any other way. I am not saying that are desire of accumulation of wealth or greatness is wrong. I am simply saying that the things we do to continue in our pursuit of self-preservation feeds on itself and is growing unchecked in the dark place in which we now find it living. Without full disclosure of this process, it becomes perverted, actually suppressing our desire for self-preservation for which that process first attended. We are destroying ourselves in our pursuit of more because a thing seeks more of what it is. There is nowhere in our collective history of our desire for more that can better illustrate our current dilemma but in those corporate bodies of the authorities that helps keep everything on an even keel to ensure the status quo. No one is perfect and no man an island so regardless of our stand as individual Christians we fall into this same process if we desire to keep up with all others trying to acquire more. This desire to keep up with others make us rife for gleaning by the current corporate bodies of the Church as well as all the other authorities that have say in how the collection of taxes and donations are used. These benefactors of our taxes and donations tend to present themselves as our servants; yet, they are truly our masters. Most of them; yet not all of them, have found ways to remove themselves from oversight these days as they reside, on varying levels, in clandestine alternate realities we commoners are only aware of on a near subconscious level. This out of sight out of mind proposition will prove to be our complete undoing and it has happen in the past as our Holy Scriptures tend to support. Even our most cherished characters in the Scriptures were hopelessly flawed and they all fall to their own selfish desires sooner or later. We identify with them as being chosen by God, and they are, however some are also discarded by God when God is doing something new in their generation. Looking at a few of these spiritual giants and the corruption of the authorities in their times can provide a better understanding of how the darkness is growing in our own generation. But before getting deeper into the past generations, we will take a good look at one flaw we have in common concerning God’s Creation.
I love being catholic some catholic songs make me cry 😭
I cry every Sunday! 😊
Don’t they all
Me too 🤓 I say it’s The Holy Spirit touching me through the beautiful song ♥️🙏🏽😇
Amen💗💗💗💗
Those are the best songs! They hold so much more meaning than Protestant songs.
This songs and many others. Such as “be not afraid” have provided me with hope and the knowledge that God will heal me to do his will and honor him. I am going through chemo that takes all day and physically and emotionally wiped me out due to stage 4 cancer But I am pleased to have this cancer as God is in charge. People have it a lot worse I always remember God doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle
Praise to God and our Lord Jesus Christ
Someone told me when I was singing, When you sing, you pray twice.it's a lovely thought and A beautiful song like 'Blest are They' stays with us. I find you do sing it over in your heart. Special during this difficult time in 2020.
A quote from Martin Luther
It’s also been attributed to Saint Augustine of Hippo (+ 430).
This song reminds me that no matter what no matter how sad,mad,annoyed with any thing God has forgiven us and once we pass on from this world we go to the eternal home of heaven and we have too appreciate the little things. God has known how our lives will play out the fun times , sad times , and mad times,but he gave us life on this earth so we can live with him and our loved ones eternally in paradise
The Sermon on the Mount.....Beautiful
No matter what David Hass did, please let these beautiful and inspiring songs stay
The art and the music are much bigger than we, faults or not, and no saints even were perfect no matter what Haas did
Keep the songs please, Catholic Church

@@gwan_git using the same logic, a number of popes had lovers, male and females, even boys, and some, re the medici family, were murderers(and fomented wars via the papal states)

I was looking for How Blest Are They Who Hear God's Word, but this is also groovy, man! Matthew 5:4-10
Am still looking for that song. Pls guide when u find it
I am in so much pain. Rejected by my own powerful kinship. Pry that God will bring me home gently and soon.
I received inspiration to search for Blest Are They song today. This song lyrics are so beautiful. I love the chorus "Rejoice and be glad!

This is probably the most inspiring video I have ever seen. My heart leaps and I sing loudly every time they play this during Mass.
Finally! I've been searching you tube for this beautiful hymn as it was sung in my church this morning. Thank you so much for posting this. God bless!
I love this kind of song, because it is singable by regular people. My church sings all fancy songs, but we cannot sing along.
We sang this song at my Dad’s funeral and it brings me to tears every time I hear it.

@@markvallone5136 You're just jealous. If you don't want to hear David Haas' music just don't listen to it. Ok?
@LaserdiscOrganistAmericanOrgan
I don't think it's fair to call Mark jealous. David H has admitted to all allegations and has since apologised. Let's pray for David as this is definitely 'little nick's' hand work. 🙏
We used to sing this song so much in my old church. It's really become a part of me. :D
Just remember. Truly being blessed in this way comes with many sorrows: very beautiful to the viewer and honored by the church through beatification. To carry this blessing through life; however, comes with pain few will ever understand. Normally it means no wife, no husband, no children, no one to hold them when they suffer the slings and arrows of the crueler things in life. They are simply alone their entire life as they come to know it was never really about them because they already belong to God. No, it was about the ones God chooses to touch by way of His grace and mercy poured out to them while the “blessed” suffers to help “Us” see the shining face of God. Perhaps we should say a little prayer for those currently in this world who suffer so that others might glimpse upon God! But such things are ultimately up to God.
This song is a huge help to me. Thank you so much for posting it.
And hearty thanks to David Haas for yet another glorious, life-giving song!
May God be with us all, thru the holy spirit. Jesus are brother was born! Rejoice! Your's is the kingdom of God!
This song gives me a grateful heart because I am blessed !!!!!

Now if the rest of the Population of the Dominion of Canada could be more Religious it maybe be possible it could possibly Become a lot more happier Country and it would become a lot more Happier Environment to live in as well as to work in.
Its high time this Country had more love and compassion towards those that are the Disabled and as well as towards the
1st Nations Peoples and this is their land and its now our turn to give it to them Back right here and now and Right Now.
At Least you would get a lot more fairer shake with them being the ones to run this Nation this Nation is theres and this
is also their land and it would be much better ran by them instead of the idiots running it now. Thank you and have a good
Day. Yours Most Sincerely David W Glavin Burnaby BC
I remember sitting on the pavement with my group in a faith retreat at my old catholic school. We all just got silent, and heard the 3rd graders practicing church songs in the music room, they were singing this. I'm not really religious anymore but this song reminds me of that extreme peaceful moment where I just did not have a care in the world.
That’s beautiful God bless you and I hope you come back to Religon❤️✝️
HOW BEAUTIFUL AND HOW COMFORTING IN THE MIDST OF SO MUCH SADNESS. GOD IS SO MERCIFUL AND LOVINGI

Beautiful song so inspiring !
+Joseph Drzazynski Indeed! At least it's not overdone, unlike some songs I've heard over the years. Some tend to get a little over the top to my liking. My boyfriend and I went to an alleged non-denominational church service for bikers and it was the worst thing we had been to and we're not all that religious either. Sure, they spoke nonstop giving theatric type testimonials and singing songs that were too overdone to our taste and liking, but we couldn't get into it all that much.
But at least we can go to Mass and it feels more relaxed and totally refreshing. And when one attends a black church, one feels like dancing in the aisles and give God the glory. At least they're sincere and when one gets grabbed by the Spirit in the pulpit it moves one to tears, at least me anyway! But these so called 'born again Christians' and their ilk (plus reading between the lines about their self-righteous ways), you can't help but wonder and feel sorry for them, especially the way they bad-mouth anyone outside their own fold or dare I say, clique! These include mainline Protestants (Methodist, Episcopalians, etc), Eastern Orthodox Christians and of course, their favorite punching bag...Roman Catholics! They treat Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians as if we were the duped generation. If they only knew! I do find it refreshing, however, that some of them have come to their senses and realized the errors of their ways, especially those who have had to be 'deprogrammed' and even mention some of the tactics and Pavlovian type tricks they use to draw people into their belief system and spirituality...and yet they have the audacity to turn around and call our churches a cult and its followers supporters of the Great Whore of Babylon! So sad and yet so true! I keep praying for those people that they too will take into account the errors of their ways and will be led back home into the true Catholic and Orthodox faith of their ancestors and be received into the welcoming arms of Jesus Christ, His loving Mother Mary and all the company of the Angels and Saints!
It wants more of itself
Part 1
Now in my 63rd year, I have seen a great many ideas of my youth fall to the reality and truth of this life while searching to understand my own humanity. Plagued by a few traumatic brain injuries as a baby, youth and even more head injuries as a young adult I quickly fell behind my age group’s normal development while developing unhealthy ways of compensating for my deficits.
I remember thinking, about 30 years ago, how I got such a raw deal in life. My younger brothers had families of their own. Many of my childhood and young adult friends had moved on while I was still stuck in a world that made little sense to me. I felt hopeless and just wanted it all to end.
Much like everything else I wanted; however, I was even denied a speedy dispatchment from this world regardless of my many attempts to get someone pissed off enough to do me in. I became stuck in a hopeless cycle of hatred for myself. That cycle would see me through years of self-mutilating debauchery by day, and pitiful sorrow while bitterly weeping in my bed at night for the end.
No one understood my suffering because on the surface it looked as though I was insane. Those still close to me, and claimed to love me, could not help either because people simply don’t help the insane, they only try to manage them. I had no idea that I was all alone back then. Was not until all my real family died did I begin to understand I was truly alone. Those that still claim to love me only do so as one might expect someone to love a still insane sibling. This stigma still follows me to this day.
Now-a-days, I am nearly 8 years sober. Many of the insane behaviors have succumb to more wholesome behaviors. I have had the time to catch up, in a way, to my contemporaries.
At the beginning of my sobriety, I was offered a promising career at my local VA hospital, a wonderful job with the local establishment that has been a cornerstone of my sobriety, opportunities that promised management, and a variety of other positions that could raise me from a lower to a higher socioeconomic status as well as become an esteemed member of my community. All attempts failed because they all had one thing in common. I would need to, at some point, make my happiness by confiscating the happiness of others.
The cruelty of this world is something I thought I knew. For me; however, the cruelty became my inability to tear down anyone else for my better income or higher esteem in my community. This had been done to me my whole life and I would be damned for sure if I did this to another simply because I now had the tools to do so.
All those years behind my age group has given me something many of my contemporaries have failed to see. A thing begets more of itself.
My desire for a higher status in life is my desire for equality; yet I must also seek that equality at all cost to anyone that may get in my way. Those that hold the keys to raise me to that higher position will not let it be any other way. I am still stunned by that revelation. So many years running in place and going toward nowhere had caused a form of weariness I had never known; yet, it has also given me a form of strength not yet expressed.
Simply stated; there is nothing I could have ever done to change my life that could not have easily been undone by those that see me as a threat to their way of life.
The higher socioeconomic status as well as being an esteemed member of my community would have always fallen to the waist side because this is who I was meant to be. It just took all these years to find me in the mess and I am grateful it took so long because I now have all these years of experience that now make sense. I was guarded from the rat race for a purpose that is yet to be defined while having no memories of legally getting what I want at another’s expense.
This process I went through has excluded me in many ways so I don’t claim some higher morality because if I had been caught up with or even surpassed my age group, who knows how I might have taken advantage of that luxury.
And please don’t get me wrong. I did, and still will, infringe on someone elses happiness when they try to infringe on mine; so, I am no saint. I’ve just learned that my early head injuries, supposed insanity, underdeveloped cognitive, social, moral and communication skills were just part of the process that make me the man I was always meant to be. And with that, I have great insight to the human condition which also includes the idea that a thing begets more of what it is.
Power begets power, control begets control, hubris begets hubris. A thing begets more of its self. I really don’t know why this happens save that people are hopelessly flawed when it comes to perceived self-preservation. However, love begets love, freedom begets freedom and humility begets even more humility which tends to also attach itself to the idea of our collective humanity being an expression of perceived self-preservation as well.
I have seen good things grow as well as bad in our society; and, through it all, the bad is winning simply because the bad is more prevalent. We are taught, from a very young age, that to stay in control of our own life we must seek an education, we must find a good job, we must seek the group of higher esteem and the list goes on. And if we are successful in our pursuit for independence it will help keep us in control of our own destinies. This process lends itself to the idea of accumulating more knowledge, wealth and self-esteem; which in turn, lends itself to the idea of a class system of who and what group is better than the next.
We live in a society that frowns on the open expression of the class system for we have come to learn that it is not congruent with our ideas of freedom and fair play here in the United States. However, that expression is alive and well and mostly expressed covertly making it unseen as it continues to grow in epic proportions while demanding more of itself to continue to live. This process affects us all and without this process seeing the light of day it has grown darker throughout the generations.
This is nothing new, however. Every generation throughout the history of societal control has some form of expressing their lack of empathy for those of a lower class. I am simply saying that, in our times, we have mastered the process by keeping it silent and just provide for those not able to survive in our shark tank any other way.
I am not saying that are desire of accumulation of wealth or greatness is wrong. I am simply saying that the things we do to continue in our pursuit of self-preservation feeds on itself and is growing unchecked in the dark place in which we now find it living. Without full disclosure of this process, it becomes perverted, actually suppressing our desire for self-preservation for which that process first attended.
We are destroying ourselves in our pursuit of more because a thing seeks more of what it is. There is nowhere in our collective history of our desire for more that can better illustrate our current dilemma but in those corporate bodies of the authorities that helps keep everything on an even keel to ensure the status quo.
No one is perfect and no man an island so regardless of our stand as individual Christians we fall into this same process if we desire to keep up with all others trying to acquire more. This desire to keep up with others make us rife for gleaning by the current corporate bodies of the Church as well as all the other authorities that have say in how the collection of taxes and donations are used.
These benefactors of our taxes and donations tend to present themselves as our servants; yet, they are truly our masters. Most of them; yet not all of them, have found ways to remove themselves from oversight these days as they reside, on varying levels, in clandestine alternate realities we commoners are only aware of on a near subconscious level. This out of sight out of mind proposition will prove to be our complete undoing and it has happen in the past as our Holy Scriptures tend to support.
Even our most cherished characters in the Scriptures were hopelessly flawed and they all fall to their own selfish desires sooner or later. We identify with them as being chosen by God, and they are, however some are also discarded by God when God is doing something new in their generation. Looking at a few of these spiritual giants and the corruption of the authorities in their times can provide a better understanding of how the darkness is growing in our own generation. But before getting deeper into the past generations, we will take a good look at one flaw we have in common concerning God’s Creation.
We love all the hymns that we sing at our church Prince of Peace.
