Bob Dylan's new song

I've always found Bob Dylan's music thought-provoking, and sometimes inspiring, as well as poetic and prophetic. 

   However, the older he gets, the worse his singing becomes. 

   This new song, "Murder most foul," reminds me a bit of a chant rather than a sung performance. Somehow his voice isn't as offensive as recent albums. 

   The song, 15.56 minutes in length, recalls the murder of President John Kennedy. Dylan also poetically and prophetically references many musicians, politicians, historical events, and even alludes to biblical motifs and the divine. Well worth a listen!

Prayer of the Day/Collect for Good Friday, Yr A

On this holy day, we remember you Jesus; as you suffered excruciating pain and a cruel death; which you freely chose in love for the whole human race to forgive their sin and promise life eternal. Today we also remember our participation in your suffering and death; we are equally as guilty as all of those who participated in sending you to the cross. Today we also remember that you continue to suffer with the whole human race as many have died and will die of the coronavirus. May everyone find strength by turning to you in order to cope with the life-threatening circumstances in which we face. May we live with resurrection hope that there will be life beyond COVID-19; just as your resurrection gives hope beyond the grave. All praise and thanks to you Jesus; our Suffering Servant; for all that you have accomplished for us on the cross.
