For the last few weeks I have been in a blue
funk. Nothing seems to be going right in
my life. Several weeks ago I
deliberately skipped Mass. I just did
not want to go near church or people.
That is a good way for me to determine how bad the depression has
become.
I mentioned this
to a friend and she stressed in no uncertain terms how important it is
to go to Mass on Sundays. Don’t get me
wrong, at times I need to get hit upside the head figuratively to get the
idea. The next Sunday I was very tempted
to skip Mass but I heard my friend’s voice telling me emphatically to get off
my backside and go to church.
Of course I needed Mass, I needed Communion but I
also needed one of the hymns we sang at the Offertory. It was Be
Still My Soul set to Finlandia by Jean
Sibelius. Here I offer one rendition of this beautiful hymn.
