"...Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe." #4 coming at you:
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Lyrics found here
Why it makes the list: This song is for all who believe and all who have ever doubted God's promise of His peace. As the song progresses from the introductory chords to its final refrain, it tells of the realization of inherent good in people - the truth that there is "peace on earth, good will to men."
When we find ourselves bowing our heads in despair, let us be reminded that the bells are ringing...and God is watching.
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
