"Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures."
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures."
Extract from the Spiritual " AMAZING GRACE"
The music at our Parish Church is usually fraught with all manner of risks from Marty Haug's horrors to the St.Louis Jesuits equally trivial offerings. But this morning we were treated to "Amazing Grace"with a few gratuitous trills thrown in. Nevertheless, though not suitable as Liturgical music its peculiar power holds.
I thought the above two verses especially helpful considering life's sometimes trying vicissitudes and God's constant ,generous Providence despite our repeated failings. How blessed beyond measure we are to receive Our Lord in Holy Communion and His forgiveness in the Sacrament of Penance.
