Easter meditation

The darkness is still with us, O Lord.

You are still hidden and the world which you have made does not want to know you or receive you...

You are still the hidden child in a world grown old...

You are still obscured by the veils of this world's history,

you are still destined not to be acknowledged in the scandal of your death on the cross...

But I, O hidden Lord of all things, boldly affirm my faith in you.

In confessing you, I take my stand with you...

If I make this avowal of faith, it must pierce the depths of my heart like a sword,

I must bend my knee before you, saying,

I must alter my life.

I have still to become a Christian.

~Karl Rahner, Prayers for Meditation

'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.

Stil In Die Gemaal Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek Musiek In opera kry mens dikwels hierdie stiltes vervleg met 'n veel onstuimiger agtergrond. Lied aan die Maan van Antonin Dvorak is 'n mooi voorbeeld. Met liefde. En die begeerte dat dit iets van God se groot liefde reflekteer. George & Matilda
