@3NUNS It is, I suppose, but I like to think that a bold heart will help me. Regards to you too - from Florida.

@AgnesRegina : For a person your age, that is a truly bold statement. My best regards, David (Melbourne, Australia).

@3NUNS I believe enough not to be presumptuous. I believe that Christ died for us, but I also know that if I say "okay, I believe, that's enough" and ignore Him otherwise, I am not liable to make it to heaven. So I keep fighting the good fight. Believing is only part of it.

@MusicPredominates I suppose it is. Bad habits. Well, I'm not a saint yet, though I am trying my best to get there; so I'm sure God will pardon me an occasional slip of the tongue.

Esta obra de Bach es Plenamente Maravillosa, sobre todo en el último fragmento de esta primera parte...., llena del amor de Dios que inspiro tanto a Bach para componer sus obras religiosas. Gracias por publicar este motete en esta excelsa versión

@AgnesRegina "Oh my gosh" is a form of cryptic blasphemy. You are so worldly !
