My dear brothers and sisters, today my podcast song is, ‘Blessed Mary of Seven Sorrows’. This is our first week of Lent. Happy Lent everyone. Lent is also a perfect opportunity, for you and for me, to examine our own hearts, on where we are, and where are we going, and to ask ourselves, is my life centered on God, or, myself?
You know it’s good for us to take time to examine ourselves. I like to do this as often as I can, but I don’t do it as often as I’d like. Ironic, right? So, when opportunities like this present themselves to me, I literally become joyful and my heart opens to Blessed Mary’s Heart, for I know she wants and desires with all her heart, yes With All Her HEART, to lead me to her Son, Jesus, and to know Jesus.
A-ha, do you, my brothers and sisters, know why? Why our Blessed Mary wants you, and me, to know Jesus? Because to know Jesus, is to know, Love, Peace and Joy.
The heart of Mary is open, what better heart is there, than the Faithful Heart of the Holy Mother of God, our Mother too, who deeply loves you, and me.
Here’s the experience I received in this song’s creation. I believe the first time the Seven Sorrows of Blessed Mary became vividly real to me, was while I was still in my twenties, and I could not deterred these events from my thoughts, nor would I want to, still, this music inside me, kept haunting my Spirit until this song was complete, in the early spring of 1978.
