As the Coronavirus rages around the world, I empathize with the many who have fallen ill and those who have died from the illness. The way the president and his administration have dismissed so off hand those who are sick, especially those on the cruise ship off the coast of San Francisco, has troubled me greatly. This afternoon and evening, I composed a musical prayer for these people and all who are suffering from illness and injury.
John Michael Talbot once said at a conference that music is the language of the Spiritual Realm. As you listen to this short piece of music, think of someone you know who is suffering at this time from an illness and/or injury and offer it as a prayer to God for them.
The music is called “Prelude For Those Who Are Suffering.”
Peace,
Bob

I am a composer, performer, poet, educator, spiritual director, and permanent deacon of the Catholic Church. I just recently retired after 42 years of full-time ministry in the Catholic Church. I continue to serve in the Church part-time. I have been blessed to be united in marriage to my bride, Ruth, since 1974. I am father to four wonderful adult children, and grandfather to five equally wonderful grandchildren. In my lifetime, I have received a B.A. in Music (UST), M.A. in Pastoral Studies (St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity, UST), Certified Spiritual Director. Ordained to the Permanent Diaconate for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, in 1991. Composer, musician, author, poet, educator. The Gospels drive my political choices, hence, leading me toward a more liberal, other-centered politics rather than conservative politics. The great commandment of Jesus to love one another as he has loved us, as well as the criteria he gives in Matthew 25 by which we are to be judged at the end of time directs my actions and thoughts.
