The Virtual Abbey

I wanted to let you all know about The Virtual Abbey.  They are, I think, an Episcopalian organization that tweets the daily office each day on Twitter.  I find this reminder to pray very helpful and love the language used in their prayers.

They are also on YouTube with various musical play lists for prayer and meditation including ones for Easter, Advent and Epiphany as well as music of Hildegard von Bingen, Palestrina, Taize, nature and Celtic meditation music.

Stop by for a little spiritual refreshment.

You're the Cream in my Coffee--1928

Jesus Met the Woman at the Well

Tomorrow's gospel, for those parishes using Year A for the scrutinies is from the Gospel of John and tells the story of Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman at the well.  Every year, when my aunt and uncle sang in their parish, they would sing this Peter, Paul and Mary song on the Sunday this gospel was read.  Every year, I think of them and the times dh and I helped them sing this song.

You're My Spirit

I've got a new playlist on YouTube of Seeker's music.  The Seekers were an Australian pop folk group from the 60's that sang quite a few spirituals. This song is from their 1993 reunion tour.
