It is often through music that the divine voice is most clearly heard.<br />

One May evening in 2006, I wandered into a cathedral where a<br />

performance of J.S. Bach’s “Mass in B Minor” was taking place.<br />

As the music filled the sanctuary, I became increasingly aware of<br />

some sort of spirit present within the music. I didn’t know what I<br />

was experiencing, but eventually the presence became so real and<br />

undeniable that I was compelled to ask: “Christ, is that you? If so,<br />

show me it is you”.<br />

The response was completely unexpected and overwhelming.<br />

The music washed over me like a tidal wave, and I heard Christ<br />

say: “Yes, it is me, and I have been with you all along. Even though<br />

you didn’t know it was me, I have been carrying you this whole<br />

time”. Suddenly, my entire life made sense to me, as though all<br />

the disparate puzzle pieces had just fallen into place. Songs I had<br />

written without knowing what they were about came rushing back<br />

to me, their meaning now clear. It was Christ I had been seeking<br />

my whole life, without even realizing it until that moment.<br />
