Lovely Jewish Music from Biblical Times

by | Sep 19, 2022 | , , | 0 |

Since we are back in Jerusalem again, starting today, we are immersed in Jewish culture. We’re standing in Jerusalem, and transported back in our imagination over the centuries of God’s people in this land and the music that inspired them. It still touches me deeply. I LOVE the sound of the shofar (ram’s horn) used […]

The Meaning of the Universe, or Non-meaning – and is there anything beyond the Big Bang

by | Aug 2, 2021 | , , | 0 |

An excellent article in The Catholic Thing this morning. Is there any meaning out there or are the “nones” and atheistic scientists correct that the universe is not as our cosmic home, but as an immense, indifferent, dead, absurd, hostile place – as is now the assumed background of our whole society. If there is […]

Getting Science and Religion Wrong (plus Covid Vaccines)

by | Mar 7, 2021 | , , , , , , | 0 |

Jimmy Akin does a marvelous job demonstrating how to deal with arrogant “academic” nonsense. There is the maxim: “If you say things often enough, people assume they are true.” But if you are going to spout tired old slanders against the Catholic Church, you better not do it around Jimmy Akin! Not only does Jimmy […]

Mary and Jesus More Closely Related than we may have Thought

by | Aug 21, 2020 | , , , | 0 |

The scientific word is “microchimerism”. It is the transfer of cells from the baby’s body into the mother’s body and the transfer of cells of the mother’s body in the baby’s body. These cells of the baby remain in the mothers’ body after birth. Very interesting indeed when considering the relationship between Jesus and his mother Mary. The microchimerism website […]

I love music from Israel and this is one of my favorite, itching to get back!!!

ATHEISM: The belief that there was absolutely nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits of random stuff thrown together by chance which then turned into dinosaurs who crawled out of […]

Imagine the Music in Hagia Sophia, Largest Church for 1,000 Years

by | Jan 21, 2020 | , , , | 0 |

For 1,000 years the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (today’s Istanbul) was the largest church in the world. What would it have sounded like to attend the Easter Vigil with all those newly baptized Christians singing in their native language of Greek with Doctor of the Church, St. John Chrysostom presiding.
