Music Monday: I can only imagine

I can only imagine 
What it will be like 
When I walk 
By your side 

I can only imagine 
What my eyes will see 
When your face 
Is before me 
I can only imagine 

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel 
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still 
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall 
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all 
I can only imagine 

I can only imagine 
When that day comes 
And I find myself 
Standing in the Son 

I can only imagine 
When all I will do 
Is forever 
Forever worship You 
I can only imagine

Lazarus Come Forth!

I was back at a Roman Rite parish today to cover the music ministry. The Gospel Reading this week was the episode where Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead.

Creation Of Adam

In today’s post I’d like to draw out a few things we learn about Adam in Genesis. In particular, I’d like to look at the five roles essential to Adam’s identity…

Which Pope said that?

I’m really pleased that the media is receptive to Pope Francis, but I am still a bit mystified as to their level of enthusiasm. Pope Francis is certainly more charismatic then Pope Benedict, but he was a shy introverted academic so that’s hardly a surprise! These Popes can’t simply be reduced to soundbites and appearances.

Anyway, if you think you know the last three Popes, I’d invite you to take this quiz form the New York Times where you have to match the quotation to the right Pope…
