One Bread One Body

I will be honest and say that I am not at all fond of most modern hymns sung in many Catholic churches today.
I do however find something appealing in this one, perhaps the words more than the music, though it can be played with grace. There was time to fill during communion after the sung verses so this is simply an improvised meditation and the thoughts that came to me are in the video.
I am Catholic as a matter of religion, but my brothers and sisters are those from all religions and those with no religion that I meet along the way.
Musicians have a keen sense of this. In musical circles my brothers are Jews,Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists.
Jesus said this : This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends

One bread, one body,
one Lord of all,
one cup of blessing which we bless.
And we, though many,
throughout the earth,
we are one body in this one Lord.
1. Gentile or Jew,
servant or free,
woman or man, no more.
2. Many the gifts,
many the works,
one in the Lord of all.
3. Grain for the fields,
scattered and grown,
gathered to one, for all.

Reflecting on the comments left here at Christmas, by those claiming Christianity who so strongly condem others who do not know or share the Christian faith...I find a great paradox. At Christmas we Christains celebrate the birth of Jesus, who came for all men. If you are visiting here and do not know Jesus, watch my video and know that as Christians we believe we will be judged according to love, not hate as expressed in many of these comments. I leave them so that you might know the difference

Unfortunately I am not surprised by the number of supposedly religious individuals leaving vile comments about this particular video

To suggest that we are all God's children regardless of the faith we practice enrages those with no real faith.

Before you post something rude here be man enough...or woman enough...to simply leave. Children come here, the sick , those looking for peace. They are not here to read pathetic tirades

Be respectuful

A reminder that my videos are here so that we might spend a moment with God. Through religious affiliation comes a vast array of views on exactly who God is....and at the moment of death we will know that answer.

I happen to be Roman Catholic by baptism and intellectual choice....but my channel is here for everyone. When a Christian looks in the eyes of a Buddhist, or a Jew, or a Muslim and sees Jesus looking back....we are all one step closer to God

One thing Christians forget and myself included Christ said, ''Do not judge, for the measure you give shall also be the measure you receive''

''He who condemns another has already condemned himself' "

''Pull the beam out of your own eye before you remove the speck in your Brothers''

This video clearly shows the gospel being put into practice.

John Paul II looks like a heretic in these pictures

[Bryanhmaloney]

@eafanboyssuck Yeah kinda but to know what actually is going on their allows you to say past what the picture actually shows and what it represents. The world giving charity to the poor.

0:38, you got admit catholics, that is a creepy picture.

To suggest that the Blessed John Paul II, the Dali Lama, Nelson Mandela are not the epitome of what we should emulate is fullish talk. None of these men share the same faith but they do share the same ideals which is manifest in God. I have very dear friends that are Muslim and we too see our common goal.
