This summer Joe is working at our parish doing cleaning and light maintenance work. While cleaning the church he discovered that the image of Jesus on the statue of the Holy Family has a strong resemblance to one of the band members from the group, One Direction. He sent me a picture and I found that he's right! Now the next time I hear the song "What Makes You Beautiful" I am going to consider it to be a prayer, joining in with those who best pray with music!
You can watch the embedded video here and pray along with me! Don't you know that Jesus is singing these words to your heart all the time? You are beautiful and He wants you to know it!
I like to pray with music--religious and secular. I also like to journal--sometimes the writing flows right from the music!
ReplyDeleteSr. Ann Marie,
DeleteHow did I forget about writing and journaling as prayer? It's my favorite way to pray! Thanks for the reminder!
Anne~This is the cutest post, ever:) I have heard that song and think it is so sweet! It's even sweeter that Joe saw that connection...love it. (And I see it too, he's right)!
ReplyDeleteThey do resemble one another! This is great! Thanks for the bebop I am feeling while I listen to this!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I totally think about Jesus whenever this song comes on the radio......it reminds me of my first experience with Him.
ReplyDeleteI was very happy when I learned that listening to spiritual music was a form of prayer, and not a "easy way out".
ReplyDeleteGod Bless.
That is funny - they do look alike! My niece wants to see One Direction sooo much but the ticket prices are ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteI love singing to God - I even change the words to secular songs and sing, sing, sing. And when I'm finished I tell my guardian angel that it's safe to remove his earplugs...
