Have No Anxiety

Not much to say today...still in a fog over this horrific tragedy. I think it's always good for us to be reminded of these words:

"Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God, and then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

How fitting for that to be our second reading this past Sunday.

Here's a recording of the song, "Have No Anxiety" from our 6:00pm Life Teen Mass last Sunday. It was just me and the piano. We didn't project the lyrics, but everyone who knew the song sang along. While the album recording is much more energetic and 'filled-out,' (here) I felt this arrangement was really a better fit for this past weekend.  Instead of having the band play on this song, it was just a stripped-down version...more prayerful, I think.



Let's all continue to pray for the peace that can only come from God...beyond all human understanding...to find a place there in Newtown.

God bless,

Ed
