I apologize to all if you wish to use this blog to post two songs of a religious character that impressed me, the first is St. Isaac the Syrian, an ascetic who lived in areas of current and Iran Iraq, much venerated in the Eastern Churches:
"What is purity? It 's a heart full of compassion for all creatures ... a heart that burns with love for all creation, for humans, birds, wild beasts, demons, for every creature. When man thinks about these creatures, when he sees them, her eyes shed tears. So big, so violent is his compassion ... that his heart breaks when he sees the slightest harm inflicted on the humblest of creatures. For this I pray, with tears every time ... even for the snakes, which arises in the infinite compassion in his heart, without measurement, the image of God "
The second thought is a prayer to the Trinity from the Scottish Highlands and reported by Anthony Duncan in his book "Celtic Christianity" published in the Oscar Mondadori
"or three that are over my head,
three that are under my feet,
three that are above me here, who are three
over me,
three that are nearby in the ground,
three that are far in the air,
three who live in the sky,
three who live in the great expanse of ocean waters, which penetrate all three
, be with me! "
These two tracks symbolize what I am interested in crisitanesimo orthodox (especially in the greek and Slavic) and crisitanesimo ancient Celtic, having kept a vivid connection with nature and with our body, two elements so that instead of the Protestant Reformation, as the Catholic Controrifroma tried to remove.
The true idolatry is not so much see a reflection of the Divine in material things, such as sun, moon, earth, water, etc.. As in the Northern League from mania to turn the God of all men and all beings in the protector of our clan in the fight against other clans.
