The Epistle of Joy – Episode #8 (Video)

Today we continue through Chapter 2 of Philippians:

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me. – Philippians 2:12-18

Here’s what I had to say:

The Epistle of Joy – Episode #7 (Video)

Today we begin Chapter 2 of Philippians!

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2:1-4

Music Monday: Maeve Heaney

Today’s Music Monday is going to be a little be a little different… Those of you who know me or who have read my testimony will have heard me mention the name “Maeve”. Maeve is a member of the Verbum Dei community who really helped ignite my faith while I was at university in Southampton. I recently found out that, not only does she have a website, she also has just released a new album, neither of which I had heard about!

I looked around for a video of Maeve singing “Woman of God”, possibly my favourite song of hers, but I couldn’t find it 🙁 So instead, here’s a compilation video of Maeve singing and speaking Italian… 🙂
