golly
Never would have thought Bono would have said something so, er, spiritual and yet real. Belief in the power of prayer is so impressive; I wish I had it myself.
Music, prayer and marital sexual relations are the three means by which we transcend ourselves and touch the face of God. Prayer is the most challenging. . .but all three take a discipline, sacrifice and - most importantly - abandonment of self to the 'other,' whether that 'other' be God, or your spouse, or the music before you.Reading the Anchoress is sometime quite thought-provoking and moving, this being one of those times, especially since I was reading that passage while Humphrey Bogart (well, ok, his character) was intoning particularly moving words while blessing the men who had just died in a maritime battle (Action in the North Atlantic).
