Give us peace . . .

Steven Maloney gives us this beautifully worded wish over last weekend:

For those in the armed services, leaders, businessmen, students, citizens intent on making and preserving the best of this world so that it may be experienced and shared as broadly as possible, I wish the very happiest Fourth of July. I give you for the day, the Augsburg Choir from the Twin Cities singing the grand finale of Ralph Vaughan Williams Materpiece (best choral arrangement of the 20th Century?), entitled "Dona Nobis Pacem" which Vaughan Williams wrote amidst fears in the mid 1930's that the world was carreening towards unspeakable violence and death. In our days of potential global economic, terrorist, nationalistic, geopolitical and ethnic violent upheavals, I wish to echo the hope of Ralph Vaughan Williams: Give us peace.

Then he points us to this:



Thanks, Steve. See his original post and blog.
