The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)
The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the King James Version (1611) of the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), though the sequence of the words was rearranged for the song. Ecclesiastes is traditionally ascribed to King Solomon who would have written it in the 10th century BC, but believed by a significant group of biblical scholars to date much later, up to the third century BC.

Prayer for Peaceful Transition of Power in our Country
There is only Oneness in this life, in this universe, in all beingness. There is no right or wrong, no we and they. The appearance of duality, division, and conflict is an error in the limited thinking of the human. The appearance of division is a result of differing views and contexts, differing angles of sight.

The Power and Source of all being works in perfect balance and harmony in all forms and all forces. Source is perfect order, perfect flow.
Knowing the true nature of life resides in Oneness, I claim and declare for our homes, communities, country and world, a harmonious transition of power, an end to divisiveness, an age of new and deeper understanding of and listening to one another, a deeper compassion and generosity to all people in our local communities and worldwide. I claim an open hearted world where races intermix and blend, where gender is not a divider or limitation, where love prevails and becomes the prevailing power. I claim a world at peace and in love. And let that peace begin with each of our hearts and minds right now,
And so it is!

What a Day That Will Be Lyrics
There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
There’ll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be,
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

Ardas For Coronavirus || Prayer For Coronavirus
Prayers may start like a wave in a sports arena or just begin
spontaneously across the Village. But everyone knows that prayers are
required and responds according to their own tradition. Christians call
upon Jesus, Buddhists finger their mala beads, Hindus
chant mantras, and Muslims initiate the Salat. Others may wish upon a
star, observe a moment of mindfulness, or perform a random act of
kindness. Regardless of the way each resident prays, they all do so in
unison.

Ancient Christian Prayer
Look upon us, O Lord,
Photo by Ismael Paramo on Unsplash
and let all the darkness of our souls
vanish before the beams of thy brightness.
Fill us with holy love,
and open to us the treasures of thy wisdom.
All our desire is known unto thee,
therefore perfect what thou hast begun,
and what thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer.
We seek thy face,
turn thy face unto us and show us thy glory.
Then shall our longing be satisfied,
and our peace shall be perfect.
(Augustine, 354 - 430)

God Bless All the Animals
The Monday Candle Lighting Ceremony Room
We Gather Together to Honor and Remember Our Precious Babies and those who have no one to pray for them.
Each Monday, we join hands, hearts and souls across the land as one large extended family to pray for our sick and dying pets and to pay tribute to our furbabies who have gone ahead to Rainbow Bridge. Someday, we will meet them again, with hugs, tears and kisses, as we walk together, in eternity, to our new home.
Until that blessed day, we honor these precious souls and remember them with the warm glow of flickering candles, sending a message of love, light and healing, and the faith to believe in miracles.

PRAYER:
God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light
our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who
have lost a loved one. Give to them Your strength and comfort. We also pray
that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to
surround our furbabies at the Bridge.
May excitement reign supreme as
wagging tails, ecstatic purrs and flapping feathers feel our gentle touch once
again. May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness
and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered. We are
temporarily separated for only a short while. The gold cord that connects us
through time and space can never be broken. AMEN.
CANDLE 1:
PERSONAL FURBABY I will not look back for there is sorrow. I will not look for today for there is longing. I will look forward for there is our tomorrow.
If you wish to add a personal message to this prayer please do so now.
CANDLE 2:
FURBABIES OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY Read the names of those who have gone on before us as a tribute to them and their loving parents. As we all meet here, our Bridgekids will be meeting all newcomers, easing their way.
CANDLE 3:
FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND PEACE We light this candle in honor of all the homeless, forgotten, abandoned, abused animals. For the nameless furchildren who gave their lives for others, for research and as a result of humankind's inhumanity. May the Higher Powers that be forgive the cruelty. As our lights shine brightly through the galaxy, may the angels smile upon us, and know that for a brief moment, we have put aside worldly differences to bond as one.
CLOSING:
I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay.
MOMENT OF SILENCE:
"Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted." Love, light and healing to all. Amen. The candles being lit tonight; Cast a soft and welcome flame. And draw our loved ones to the light as we call to them by name. Imagine spirits taking flight, For a moment our souls entwine. Say not Good Night, but in some Brighter Time bid them all ... Good Morning.
Who Will Answer - Ed Ames
A very powerful old song by Ed Ames , but still works today with all the torture and killing in other countries. This is truly an awesome song and awesome voice.
The Irish Blessing
A peaceful Irish Blessing to help calm anxious fears during this sad and difficult time.
The Irish Blessing (Beannacht uile-Éireann) is a project inspired by the many international recordings of "The Blessing” (by Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe and Elevation Worship) which have been made during this time of pandemic. We wanted to honour that inspiration, whilst at the same time, honouring the unique history and culture of our island. So we chose a song that would resonate across the island, with every denomination and cultural grouping, one that could be used as a platform to sing a Blessing over our land, all our key-workers and those they are caring for. “Be Thou My Vision” is just such a hymn written over 1000 years ago. It reminds us of the One to whom we should look in this time of pandemic, whose presence is our light, the source of our wisdom, in whom we find our treasure and where we find victory. Individuals from 300 Christian churches and organisations located in every county on the island submitted self-recordings of vocals and instruments which have been compiled by our creative team to produce this music video - we hope you receive a blessing as you watch it.

Polish Christmas Carol, 1946
I have no idea who W. Sypniewski was, but he has a nice, well trained baritone. Possibly, he was a singer in Opera House of Poznań (the city where the small manufacture Melodje Records was located). The slideshow contains vintage Polish Christmas cards and some views of traditional Polish Christmas Eve food.
