“By paths unknown I will guide them.”
“I answered concealed in the storm cloud.”
The radical claim and great mystery the Lord communicates to us through the psalmist is that in every circumstance He comes to us. Often we do not perceive him and in the more difficult moments of life, we may feel He is absent as perception and understanding are eclipsed by pain and unknowing; nonetheless, in one way or another, He tells us He “stands at the door of the heart and knocks” (cf. Rev 3:20).
“It’s my hope that the album would awaken in the heart a new wonder for the beauty and sweetness of repentance, a desire to take that journey of “recovery” (with some ‘how to’s’ along the way), and an awareness that God’s medicines are ultimately born to us in the mysteries of our lives.”
J.J. Wright
J.J. Wright, Director for the University of Notre Dame Folk Choir, produced the Mysteries and Medicines album, played keyboards, and contributed back-up vocals. He was also involved with “Poco a Poco.” His family met the CFRs years ago when they volunteered alongside the friars to serve the homeless.
May the mysteries we have received, O Lord, bring us heavenly medicine.
Recovery and Renewal
Repentance, a similarly central theme of the album, is something that is often very misunderstood today. In light of Christ, repentance is meant to be something life-giving and joy-bearing. It is the process of recovery and renewal that the medicines of God’s mysteries are meant to bring about in our hearts.
