“Current Catholic worship often ignores the essential connection between truth and beauty, body and soul, at the center of the Catholic worldview. The Church requires that we be faithful, but must we also be deaf, dumb, and blind? I deserve to suffer for my sins, but must so much of that punishment take place in church?” SoulBodySufferingChurchSinEssentialsWorshipDeserveConnectionsCatholicBlindCurrentsPunishmentDumbFaithfulDeafWorldviewBeing FaithfulTruth And Beauty Author:Dana Gioia

“I have a great respect for the flag, (but) if the government passed a law saying that I had to pledge allegiance to the flag, I don't think I would do it. I've always felt that I lived in a country...where if I wanted to worship God as a Baptist, I could do so. If I were an atheist, I could be one.

“You find the most in not any particular denomination specifically. It's the style of worship. So if we have what we call a charismatic worship style, that means upbeat music and a more lively style of preaching usually, people are allowed to clap, say "Amen," whether they're mainline Protestant, conservative Protestant, and Catholics, whatever, they're much more likely to be integrated.” PeopleIfsMeanStyleParticularWorshipCatholicConservativePreachingLivelyIntegratedProtestantsAmenCharismaticDenominationsUpbeat Author:Michael Emerson

“The sacred rites, although not instituted specifically for proving the truth of the dogmas of the Catholic Faith incontrovertibly, are effectively the living voice of Catholic Truth, the oft-sounded expression of it. For that very reason the true Church of Christ, even as she shows great zeal to guard inviolate those forms of divine worship - since they are hallowed and are not to be changed - sometimes grants or permits something novel in the performance of them in certain instances. This she does especially when they are in conformity with their venerable antiquity.” DoeSometimesReasonShowsFormCertainVoiceChristChurchNovelChangedDivineExpressionProveWorshipPerformancesCatholicSacredInstanceGrantsConformityCatholicismPermitDogmaZealAntiquityRiteCatholic FaithChurch Of Christ Author:Pope Leo XIII

Matt handed us the chord charts and, with less than 5 minutes of practice, we were playing it live. I fell in love with this song immediately.
