Sunday Drive: O Little Town of Bethlehem

The Lessons Appointed for Use on the 

Fourth Sunday of Advent

 

The Magnificat 

My soul doth magnify the Lord,

and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.

For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations.

He hath shewed strength with his arm.

He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat

and hath exalted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good things.

And the rich he hath sent empty away.

He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel

as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, forever.

Amen.

Waitin' for the Weekend

This is the best I can do this week, fellas.  I've just lost interest in a lot of things lately.  Not much to say, either.  The past is much more interesting than the present time; and I can't bear to think about the future.

BTW, I find these kinds of videos more enjoyable by slowing down the playback speed and muting the sound.  Just sayin'.

Out of the Past

Some time ago, looking up an historical subject, I came across this photograph of a newlywed couple in Czechoslovakia, circa 1935.  A nice young couple, neatly dressed, peering into the future.  What did the future hold for them, I wonder.  

They would have had only a short time to settle into married life before Hitler took over their country and plunged the world into war.  Did they have children?  Did he go off to war or to forced labor?  Did they live to see the liberation of their country, and subsequent domination by Russia?  What happened to them, after that short space of peace?

What will happen to all of us now, in America?  What would they say to us if they could speak?  I wonder . . .
