My spiritual director sent me this link to Youtube.  A song by Wendy Francisco, called “God and Dog.”  Whether you are a dog lover or not, this song helps me “see” God’s love all around me.

Sometimes I get so bogged down in the words and phrases of the scriptures, I just don’t get it.  But when a musician takes those same words, phrases, or ideas and turns them into a song, somehow that helps me “get it.”  I can ”see” better what God is trying to show me about God’s self, and maybe something about myself too.  One of the reasons I come up with, why this is so, is because music seems to connect with all different parts of our mind/body at the same time.  Drama can do this.  And the Sacraments do this too!

What helps you to “see” God better?  Are there any particular songs that have helped you to “see” better?
