Advent 4 - Singing - Luke 2

“You see the angels? They're all about music. Nothing here said that Lucifer was in charge of music before he decided to only sing songs about himself, and we hear about the music of the spheres, the music of the heavenly, the medieval monks saw as the rotation of the planets in harmony with one another. The entire universe was singing and humming and glorifying and praising God, the Creator. Singing strong, the vibrations of sound that God infused into this existence. The angels tap into that. The angels are singing the glory of God at all times. That's what they do. They love music so much, and it was just in Jesus that the humans finally got to see it. … At that moment, the angelic harmonic and the human tune in were one and the same. You see, in Jesus, two completely different musical traditions fused. The extraterrestrial and the terrestrial, and Jesus will always stand in the center of this fusion of earth and heaven. Even in the end, we see it in the book of Revelation that Jesus will be the uniting force between heaven and earth, between human and angelic singing.”
