I sing in my church choir, and also in a quartet that does a lot of gospel work in addition to some good old-fashioned barbershop, and the latter has become common knowledge at work ... a co-worker gave me a pin with this quote on it, and I was researching the quote before wearing it, just in case it might be a faux pas to wear as a Lutheran ... but while I see now that the root of the quote is indeed in Cathlolicism, it doesn't seem like something that should annoy other Christians, and I sorta like it ... thanks for your blog!Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042959113252585734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-82140517661627181832009-08-24T13:04:43.099-05:002009-08-24T13:04:43.099-05:00The other reference to this is from PL 36, 914 on ...The other reference to this is from PL 36, 914 on Psalm 73 where Augustine writes, "For he who sings praise, does not only praise, but also praises joyously; he who sings praise, is not only singing, but also loving Him whom he is singing about/to/for. There is a praise-filled public proclamation (praedicatio) in the praise of someone who is confessing/acknowledging (God), in the song of the lover there is deep love." That is a translation of Fr. John<br />Zuhlsdorf(http://wdtprs.com/blog/2006/06/who-sings-well-prays-twice-not/)<br /><br />Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1156 refers its reader to this in footnote 21.<br /><br />It is also found on page 334 of Nicene Post-nicene Fathers, First Series, vol. 8 where you find: "for he that singeth praise, not only praiseth, but only praiseth with gladness: he that singeth praise, not only singeth, but also loveth him of whom he singeth. In praise, there is the speaking forth of one confession; in singing, the affection of one loving."David Boisclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628713371668197573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-58932147907397630292009-08-16T20:49:19.306-05:002009-08-16T20:49:19.306-05:00Pastor,
Praise God He has sung to us the love son...Pastor,<br /><br />Praise God He has sung to us the love song of His Son's death and resurrection!<br /><br />All those folk who don't like a bloody religion, bloody Savior, bloody sacrifice have not sung songs like we sang today. <br /><br />I can no longer sing out loud, but my mouth is open and the words of the hymns come through my mind and go to God, though no sound comes from my vocal chords. <br /><br />To sing "You Are the Way, and You Alone" and hate a "bloody, primitive religion" makes no sense to me.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.com
