On the fifth day of Christmas, I offer this beautiful gift from Bach, my favorite classical composer. Listening to a little Bach every day is guaranteed to make your season brighter. And what better time to do it than during the 12 days of Christmas! Enjoy listening as you read this brief excerpt from the Christmas Oratorio:
Friday offers a weekly invitation to reflect on the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, that heart burning for love of you. Shouldn't each of us desire that love with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength?
Some music lifts our hearts and minds to God and overwhelms us with passionate desire. The best music of all, arouses our passions to the love of Christ. Such is the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
