Pie Jesu

Here’s a beautiful, uplifting, inspiring version of the song “Pie Jesu” as sung by Lucy and Martha Thomas. This is a wonderful song to listen to during this week leading up to the celebration of the Easter resurrection of Christ Jesus.

As always during yearly Easter cycles, we decree: Take Jesus off the cross, and see him resurrected. And, Spirit, thank you for taking me off of my own cross, and empowering me to resurrect. May peace and love be resurrected on Earth. Amen!
