Pilate’s wife has one plea: “Do not touch him, do not judge him.” This powerful solo, “In Dreams of Warning,” imagines the dream she could not ignore — a vision of Christ before the crucifixion, seen through a woman’s eyes who tried to stop it. Suitable for Lent, Holy Week, or solo performance

Great song about being kind, examination of conscience and asking for courage to act in the spirit of love.

1) All that’s good and true
All beauty comes from you
All life and love and power
Flows  from you dear Father
 so we give you all praise
So we give you all paise
Our hearts are restless till
Till they rest in you
Your promise come fulfill 
To live forever in glory with you

2) You purify our motives
For us to childlike live   
For us to all  forgive

Originally published February 13, 2020

This song is about feelings of depression and isolation.  It draws upon the metaphor of being on a desert island.  I was actually inspired by the movie, Castaway, in particular a scene in which the main character addresses the need to be resilient and hopeful in the face of great sorrow.

A tender and moving piece that is used for Holy Thursday during Holy Week and sings the words of when Jesus is washing the feet of the Apostles.

Pray for people outside the Church, especially those who left the faith.

Dmaj7         
I was trying to follow you
Am7
when you turned off your lights
       A♭6                  Gmaj7

Why would you do that?

Sent Mary our mother and our hope
For us to fight as children of light and hope

conform us to God’s holy ways In our heart, will, work and play

REFRAIN

Grant us the grace to persevere, Lord and be of on heart and accord

Help us follow you in distress
Till in your victory live in your divine rest

3 ) Lord help us be stong.and bold As we fight for poor broken souls Lead us in your valiant fight, Quelling all the devil’s might;
