Haas - Rejoice & Be Glad - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rejoice and Be Glad explores Matthew's version of the Beatitudes through the lens of music he and others have written; through texts of Pope Francis; and David's own exploration of the Beatitudes in everyday living. Rejoice and Be Glad! The Kingdom of God is (Y)Ours! The Kingdom of God is both yours and ours - it belongs to all of us the poor, the sorrow-filled, the lowly, the hungry, the homeless, the pure of heart, the peacemakers, you and me, all of us, the Children of God.
