Peteris Vasks: The Fruit of Silence
Latvia Radio Choir; Sinfonietta Riga; Sigvards Kjava, Conductor
The fruit of silence is prayer
The fruit of prayer is faith
The fruit of faith is love
The fruit of love is service
The fruit of service is peace.
Text: Mother Teresa
Bruckner: Os Justi
Tenebrae; Nigel Short, Conductor
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks what is just.
The law of his God is in his heart:
and his feet do not falter.
Alleluia.
I have found David, my servant;
I have anointed him with my holy oil.
Alleluia.

I really need to remember to do this.
“Our life is love, and peace, and tenderness; and bearing one with another, and forgiving one another, and not laying accusations one against another; but praying one for another, and helping one another up with a tender hand.”
Isaac Penington, 1667

O Heavenly King,
the Comforter,
the Spirit of truth,
Who art everywhere
and fillest all things;
Treasury of blessings,
and Giver of life,
come and abide in us,
and cleanse us
from every impurity,
and save our souls,
O gracious Lord.
