A New Song

Sing to the Lord a new song. (Ps 98:1)
I love that command. First of all that i am called to sing is amusing because i cannot sing. I've had objective feedback on it. Yet, despite the noise i produce, i am called to sing! I secretly always knew that beauty lies in the ear of the listener...

And that new song is Christ. Not the Christ of two thousand years ago, but the living Christ now. Salvation and grace are ours now if we ask. Sing that new song and be rewarded. Be that new song. Live out the words and share the tune. And if that song becomes old, sing another one. Basically, just keep singing!

How's that old song working out for you? Things going well with your life? If not, stop now and sing that new song. You might be surprised.

Oremus:
I'd like to offer a prayer to the two patients that attacked each other last night, that they might find peace in the hellish nightmare that is their daily life in psychosis. And a prayer to the care-givers who were caught in the middle. And for the police that had to come into action. I pray that they might all perform their jobs professionally and with compassion, that they see the aggression as a symptom of the patients' hopelessness, powerlessness and separation from us. Amen.

Deo gratias.
