Easter wk 7, Praise be to You Jesus Christ, Ep58
My sisters and brothers, Happy 7th week of Easter, and also the Ascension of the Lord.
Today our podcast song is ‘Praise Be To You Jesus Christ’. Now the first part of this song was written as part of an Acclamation to be used for Catholic Mass Services, which I have used in many Catholic Churches from the middle of Nebraska to the Southern states throughout my journey. Although when we use this song as an Acclamation, the verses are not sung. However, when we sing it during a meditation, the whole song is sung. In the March of 1983, for meditation at a Catholic Mass Service, I sang this song for my Aunt Edna’s Funeral, (my dad’s sister), by request of her children. It was our way of celebrating her love and her life! This song is about how through the Cross of our Lord Jesus, we have been redeemed. How through the Blood of our Lord Jesus, we have been cleansed within. Our soul cries out, ‘Praise be to You Jesus Christ’! For within our very being, we have the heart of a bride on the wings of the Spirit of God! We are asking God to make us worthy to receive Him, to keep us wholly onto Him, so that we can be complete in Him. We are aware that we are unable to do anything unless He enables us. For Jesus is the Bread of Life eternal, Jesus heals our every need. Praise be to Jesus Christ forever and always!
My friends, such a Mystery we have before our eyes. Jesus is the living bread, our Bread of Life Eternal. If you and I believe that we have been redeemed by the Blood of Jesus, then we must also believe we will be taken up with Him, as a bride on the wings of the Spirit of God, for the Spirit of God is in us. If I believe in the Mystery of my God, I must be ready for Him when He comes for me. If you believe in the Mystery of God, you must be ready for Him when He comes for you. The question is, are we ready? Do we, you and I, belong to Jesus? Well, lets see, are you doing as He wills in your life? Am I doing as He wills in my life? If we believe in Him and follow His ways, His commandments, then yes, we do belong to Jesus. We, you and I, hold A Mystery of our Religion. No, we can not understand this mystery, but all we need is Faith, remember, Faith is believing is what you can not see nor understand!
