A friend from out of state was here with her family for her mother-in-law’s funeral. I was so happy that they met me for Mass this morning. The opening song was “Christ in Me Arise”, which is the one that was so meaningful to my other friend who I saw on Ash Wednesday. It brought tears to my eyes on her behalf. Later, they led the song, “On Eagle’s Wings”. That was at my dad’s funeral. My friend glanced at her husband. She said that it was the song he requested for his mom’s funeral which will be tomorrow. More tears. I was chatting with a friend tonight about the music and she said she can get lost in the words of a sermon, but never in a song. Music truly does have a power all it’s own.

I Found God today in the power of music.
