Bridges and Walls, Original Words and Music by Rene A

We need to make a serious choice, today!!!
Not tomorrow!

Do we build walls; or bridges that can allow communication, understanding and love to start creeping and can someday stand united.

Make love, not war!!!
Peace and hope be in our troubled world!!!

Responsorial Psalm 66(67):2-3,5-6,8

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let Your face shed its light upon us.
So will Your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn Your saving help.

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

Let the nations be glad and exult
for You rule the world with justice.

How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all His creatures.

I am planning for a family gathering at my house to celebrate Father’s Day on 06/19/2022 for our family members and relatives in the spirit of Saint Joseph, the worker.
I want to emphasize the importance of the father in the family upon the Holy Family.
Remember, among our family members, there are widows and single moms or single dads raising our children.  So be hopeful to plant the seed of fatherhood in the house upon the Holy Family.
The role of fatherhood in the family must be very important as the daddy defend the family upon Christ and the Holy Family.  In the house, mommy is driving the wave as she cares and leads everyone on the way.  But the role of the father must be recognized and appreciated by the Holy Family.

Happy Mother's Day
I attached a pro life song I am working on for an upcoming album as it is appropriate for this weekend and everything going on in the world with the courts right now. 
This version is exclusive to Top Catholic Songs as it features a speech from Mother Teresa.
God Bless All Mothers

Responsorial Psalm 99(100):1-3,5

We are His people, the sheep of His flock.

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before Him, singing for joy.

We are His people, the sheep of His flock.

Know that He, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to Him,
we are His people, the sheep of His flock.

We are His people, the sheep of His flock.

Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal His merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.

We are His people, the sheep of His flock.

CHORUS
In heaven, I'll pray for you upon my son, Jesus Christ.
In heaven, I'll intercede for you upon my son, Jesus Christ.
Trust in me, my child.

VERSE
My honor to receive good news from Angel that my Mother Mary conceived a child.
A child who will be for mankind's salvation.
A child will bring peace to the earth.
A child will bring joy to the world.

VERSE
Good news for those who hope in heaven in Christ through Holy Water & Holy Spirit.
Christ's mission with his disciples on earthly life presents his promise of hope for mankind's salvation.
He promised to be with men, women, and children in his tabernacle in the eucharist.
He suffered on the cross to prove his obedience to his father in heaven that save us through the cross.

VERSE
Glory be to the Lord, Jesus Christ, who had risen to save us through the cross.
Now his Mother Mary is also honored in Heaven with him.
Pray for us in heaven, Mother Mary, and remember us.
Intercede for us now that you are in heaven, Mother Mary.
Pray for us my Mother Mary, intercede for us.

Responsorial Psalm 29(30):2,4-6,11-13

I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me.

I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O Lord, You have raised my soul from the dead,
restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.

I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me.

Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him,
give thanks to His holy name.

Song for April. Listen => Between the Moments (on Christ’s faithfulness, despite our disconnectedness)

It is the habit of our times to separate our world lives from our faith lives. But this is silliness. Our faith teaches us how to live our lives in the world– how to see God in all people and things, and how to respond to His call. Given the challenges of our time, we need leaders who are both capable and ethical. How do leaders become ethical? You will recall (from previous letters) the ladder of virtues I call the “disciplines of goodness”:

• Sustainability
• Diplomacy
• Democracy
• Charity
• Civility
• Decency
• Piety

It all flows up from the bottom. Servant leadership begins in our souls, in our relationship with God. With God by our side, in prayer and contemplation, we work to untangle soul knots. Once set free from our self-preoccupations, we look beyond ourselves...
 

Text: John Oxenham (1908). Based on Galatians 3:23.
Tune: MC KEE. Originally an Irish tune taken to the United States, it was adapted by African American slaves. Arranger: H. T. Burleigh.

1 In Christ there is no east or west,
in him no south or north,
but one great fam'ly bound by love
throughout the whole wide earth.

2 In him shall true hearts everywhere
their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close-binding humankind.

3 Join hands, disciples in the faith,
whate'er your race may be.
Who serve each other in Christ's love
are surely kin to me.

4 In Christ now meet both east and west;
in him meet south and north.
All Christly souls are one in him
throughout the whole wide earth.

Responsorial Psalm 117(118):2-4,22-27

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His love has no end.

Let the sons of Israel say:
‘His love has no end.’
Let the sons of Aaron say:
‘His love has no end.’
Let those who fear the Lord say:
‘His love has no end.’

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His love has no end.

The stone which the builders rejected
has become the corner stone.

The Good Lord Loves You was composed by American songwriter Richard Fagan. This song was recorded by Neil Diamond and released on the September Morn album in 1979.
