During Lent, we will depart from our usual Sunday stories from the lectionary and, instead, offer a different Lenten spiritual practice for your family to try and adopt over the next forty days and nights.
God keeps us from harm and rescues us from both the traps we are placed in by others, and the ones we build ourselves. God is with us “in trouble,” sheltering us in the holy dwelling place of the Most High.
On Wednesdays throughout Lent, we will be presenting our Lenten “Lamentatio” series from 2014, an exploration of darkness and light through the music of Philip Glass, Shostakovich, and others. Today’s Comfort at One presents Lamentatio 1 featuring The Choir of Trinity Wall Street with works by Ockehgam, Ginastera, di Lassus and Krenek.
A note from Father Bird about Ukraine...Even as we face this great tragedy, with uncertainty and I expect no small amount of fear, we find assurance in the unceasing love of Jesus Christ who showed us the way of peace and justice, and who proclaimed, “Blessed are the peacemakers.”
Today’s Comfort at One is a clip of Julian Wachner’s Holy, Holy, Holy from “Singing our Song,” a 2019 concert that featured all of Trinity’s choirs: The Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Trinity Youth Chorus, Downtown Voices, and St. Paul’s Chapel Choir, accompanied by musicians from NOVUS NY.
