      Time could help. Members of my family held grudges for decades but finally reconciled. There’s always hope.

    This video is so appropriate to the Christmas season. This is why Jesus was born. To love, to forgive, to share. Beautifully done.

    I have to watch videos like this every so often. the world is a cold place and stuff like this helps to remind me what I am not doing. It also helps me to get on my knees and ask God to help me to be a better person and love others no matter what.

    My Irish heart was almost split in two as I recalled painful relationships, loss and yet the beauty of this version of that ancient Irish Carol had raised my spirit and encourages compassion and love.

    The Carol is amazing, and it's hard to credit I only found it at Christmas 2018, having managed without it for so long. Surprisingly - given the separate subject matter - the film is a superb complement. And I amaze myself by NOT finding it over-slick and slushy at all, but rather supremely fundamental and meaningful and well-done. Cannot therefore manage this without a tear, and rightly so. Those Bible stories have their eternal power, and THANK GOD for that!

      It's the film too. Paradoxically, the Prodigal Son does not really match with the Christmas story, except that it does. The Holy Spirit knows exactly what it is doing...

    What a World of Wonder this World Could Be, Glorious

    • @sidpheasant7585
      @sidpheasant7585 3 роки тому

      Indeed, there is nothing more wondrous, more dignified, more manly, more human, more Godly, more paradise-like, than healing forgiveness and reconciliation. To take the step of love when every fibre of your being is telling you to keep going that conflict buried so deep, and so very JUSTIFIED and so very logically argued. What a miracle, then, when the Spirit comes down to us and teaches us how to overcome and get past ourselves. To at last let go of that screwed-up inner ball of sinful anger and resentment that has built the biggest edifice in our life and has become our reason and justification for being. It can be done - by you and I, by the leaders of the world, by all who hate and resent and are jealous. The way was shown to us, and is shown again so eloquently in this film - all we have to do is follow...

    Also it's only missing a single piece to contrast with the single piece the younger brother ate at the beginning.
