Would you please publish a book of the archives? Perhaps with the settings of the hymns notated? It would be -so- lovely to share with all the children for years to come. I understand the format is the ideal use of our connectivity—thank you for showing how it’s meant to be used. Alas, I fear the loss of my soul to the siren call of the Internet, but it is publications like yours that keep me coming back; and I am too weak, too soulless, to leave the muck and the mire and the doldrums. Cut off my right hand indeed! But it would be wonderful to sit with this wisdom, opened in my lonely left hand and beheld with clearer mind and pondered with a soul (a heart?) fully alive, in print!
Thank you, this section helps me to understand, "His soul, the core of his being all that makes him what he is, or rather what by his created nature he aspires to be...the soul is the breath of God in man" and yes, Bless the Lord, O my soul ,and all that is within me bless his Holy Name.
Sometimes, when I think about it, I get lost in the difference between soul and spirit. They seem to be the same and very different. My soul is immortal. Is my spirit immortal? Is my mind immortal? I think my mind might be since it’s part of me. To the best of my understanding I will be using it in Heaven. But my brain and my head will die and return to the earth from which they were made. And when I think too much on these things I hope it will be soon because it gives me a headache! 😎
Anthony, of course you noticed that the “shell’ surrounding the figure of God in the Creation of Adam looks remarkably like a brain. Is that on purpose? Is there a relationship between the brain of God and the soul of Adam? I’m asking for a friend. :-)
I’m doing a commentary/exegesis on Psalm 103 on my Substack, St. Arbucks Cafe. I would love for you to stop by sometime.
Reminds me of my grandmother using the expression, “O, my soul!” when she was surprised about something. There’s a hymn we sing in church that has that phrase in it and has a “haunting melody” that I’m trying to think of what the title is! It repeats that phrase over and over at the end. Maybe you’re using it this week?
Did Christ have a unique soul or was his soul the holy spirit itself

What wondrous love is this, o my soul…at least verse one plays upon soul.
“It is well with my soul”?
