“Grant when the veil is riven, we may behold, in heaven, thy countenance divine.” O esca viatorum Heinrich Isaac (c. 1450-1517) #choirmusic #catholic #musicmeditation | Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

“If your understanding of the divine made you kinder, more empathetic, and impelled you to express sympathy in concrete acts of loving-kindness, this was good theology. But if your notion of God made you unkind, belligerent, cruel, or self-righteous, or if it led you to kill in God’s name, it was bad theology. ” - Karen Armstrong, Founder of the Charter for Compassion ✨ What’s your understanding of the divine? 👉 Which one are we practicing today? ♾️ #KarenArmstrong #Compassion #KindnessInAction
