    Theology of the Body Stations of the Cross

    Theology of the Body Stations of the Cross by Fr. Vincent Gulikers. [email protected] THEOLOGY OF THE BODY from Theology of the Body by Christopher West: Chpt. 2 God wants to marry us. The entire biblical revelation unfolds between the marriage of the first Adam and Eve and the marriage of the final Adam and Eve, Christ and the Church. God’s mysterious and eternal plan is to espouse us to himself forever. Christ left his Father in heaven; he left the home of his mother on earth – to give up his body for his bride, so that we might become one flesh with him. We consummate our marriage with Christ ultimately in Heaven, but here on earth we consummate it sacramentally in the Eucharist. The deepest truth of human sexuality is revealed through the Eucharist. The holy communion of man and woman in “one flesh” is a great mystery that is meant to signify the holy communion of Christ and his Church consummated in the Eucharist. MALE CIRCUMCISION Why? Every time a man descended from Abraham consummated his marriage, he and his wife would be reminded of God’s promise of fruitful love. Circumcision foreshadows Christ’s ultimate sacrifice of flesh and blood. God’s generous love involved the sacrifice of one’s own flesh (right where it hurts). Spousal love indicates a total self-giving, a total self-donation. It is our bodies that make visible the call to self-giving love. Love involves the gift of self. The relationship of spouses is the context in which self- giving love is experienced.

    When December Burns Cold Like a Stone Rise to the Unknown I Now

    When December Burns Cold like a stone rise to the unknown I now drown in despair when December burns Locked in one’s mind my state of being, denial Drag me away with your toxin this bliss lasts just for one moment What’s left of this world? Where’s your true purpose? These flames seem to wait atop a hill Breath to the wind I’m built up with sin What can you find beneath my ashes? See hope in others’ eyes this earth leaves nothing to thrive living beside the dead upon stacks of burial mounds My skin starts to boil The stench is too grim to bear But now there's no turning back I will not perish in dissent Cold like a stone Rise to the unknown I now drown in despair When December burns Where's your god? Where's your faith when we all die the same? The smoke now rises, the sky turns pale This is my end, my farewell Your life leaves nothing for me Burn me again and again I stand alone on this hill Flames succumb all around Black like coal In the unknown I now burn In December Jeremy Farfan - Guitar, Vocals Efrain Farfan - Guitar, Vocals Manolo Estrada - Drums Martin Tune - Bass Recorded at Atomic Sound, Red Hook Brooklyn April 20 and May 28, 2019 Recorded by Dakota Bowman Mixed by Neil Kernon Mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music Starved For Energy I'm Crawling through earth and through stone I gasp for one last breath of your innocent silence Covered in dirt I know you bare this hurt alone Contemplating suicide A look inside this tangled mind A noose that hangs six feet high Can you see it sway? The clouds now merge With obscure shades of grey The fields then burn With the smell of decay What more can be said For a wind thats passed This unspoken whisper Lingers in smoke as dead eyes stare down! I drown my tears over flames That vanish snow And I can't fight the dark that's consumed me My sanity has left me here.

    Song & Music in the Movement

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.
