About how Christ is likened to a mighty lord who built a great city and a marvelous castle, signifying the world and the church, and how the judges and defenders and workers in the church of God have been changed into a bad bow.
Book 1 - Chapter 55 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE FINAL PART
In truth, I am like this mighty lord, for I built myself a city, that is, the world, and placed a castle there, that is, the church. The name of the world was divine wisdom, for the world had this name from the beginning, since it was created in divine wisdom. This name was venerated by all, and God was praised in his wisdom and wondrously proclaimed by his creatures. But now the name of the city has been dishonored and changed, and a new name has been taken, that is, human wisdom.

For the judges, who before had made judgments in righteousness and the fear of the Lord, have now turned to pride and are trying to deceive simple men. They desire to be eloquent so that they may win human praise, and they speak and preach that which pleases men so that they may obtain favors. They tolerate calmly all words so that they may be called good and patient, and they accept bribes to overturn righteous judgments. They are wise for the sake of their own temporal benefit and their own will, but dumb when it comes to my praise. They trample and press down simple men under their feet and force them into silence. They extend their greed to all and make right into wrong. This is the kind of wisdom that is loved now, while my wisdom is forgotten.

The defenders of the church, who are the noblemen and knights, see my enemies and the attackers of my Church but do not care about it. They hear their words of blasphemy and mockery but do not care about it. They perceive and understand the deeds of those who attack my commandments and still bear them patiently. They behold them daily committing all kinds of mortal sins, as if they were allowed, and feel no compunction about it, but sleep and associate with them, binding themselves by oath to their company.

The workers, that is, the entire people, reject my commandments and withhold my gifts and my tenth. They offer gifts to their judges and show them honor and reverence in order to win their favor and goodwill. In truth, I can boldly say that the sword of fear for me and for my Church is thrown away in the world, and that a sack of money has been put in its place.

  • Should be played as background music to a classic haute couture fashion show. Thanks for uploading this beautiful track johnrigs4321.

  • 6 years hearing these amazing music. and now i'm 22

  • Why can't all vocalist be this good? You can have a great voice but you gotta have some spark like Astrud or I just won't care.

  • I have been looking for this song for almost four years. I finally found it. It embodies the 60's.

  • @unwindzen yes is true...

  • Captivating and positive...AWESOME! Thanks.

  • Beautiful. Thank you johnrigs4321. This takes me back. The Hammond organ, that sound, so clean and simple, thats what does it for me. A true song for the ages!

  • fantastic xx

  • @unwindzen You said it! I have heard remakes of this song - even before Astrud's version - and they still can't capture the magic of Astrud Gilberto! I said it in another video, but I am a bit envious (friendly of course!) of Brazil for producing such an Angel like Astrud!
