My Italian grandpa, Vincent Oddo was an opera singer in New York when he arrived here in America as an immigrant with his cousin, Jerome Trapolino. My husband is a musician and we both have a love of music so this is just very touching and exciting to me. A Gift. On Easter.
“On the day in which we celebrate the trust in a life that triumphs, I’m honored and happy to answer ‘Sì’ to the invitation of the City and the Duomo of Milan. I believe in the strength of praying together; I believe in the Christian Easter, a universal symbol of rebirth that everyone – whether they are believers or not – truly needs right now. Thanks to music, streamed live, bringing together millions of clasped hands everywhere in the world, we will hug this wounded Earth’s pulsing heart, this wonderful international forge that is reason for Italian pride. The generous, courageous, proactive Milan and the whole of Italy will be again, and very soon, a winning model, engine of a renaissance that we all hope for. It will be a joy to witness it, in the Duomo, during the Easter celebration which evokes the mystery of birth and rebirth” Andrea Bocelli
Fall on Me, Andrea Bocelli and his son, Matteo Bocelli. I think this is so beautiful...
I know I posted the video above, 'Fall on Me' last entry, please oblige. I've been enjoying this song in our kitchen as I prepare our evening dinner. Our evening dinner is just Jem and I these days and my quiet time in the kitchen is my grandma's hands preparing our dinner...I see my hands and I see her hands. I hear this song? It is God speaking to my heart. God the Father.
Fall on me with open arms...Fall on me where you are...
He is there with us.
My daughter tells me the concert will be 12pm our time. We are in the south in the U.S. It's live, so please check your particular time in your part of the world.
I'll close with Doctor's Orders, I recently saw:
Micah 6:8
1.) Do justly
2.) Love Mercy
3.) Walk Humbly
Me with Jimmy, our secondborn little grandchild.
In Christ, He is risen. What would I do without the Father? ~Amelia
