Remembering Michael Jackson. May he rest in peace.

Today’s “revivial, ceremony, concert” at the Staples Center in his memory Los Angeles is beautiful. I have never seen a funeral like it, and it seems totally consistent with Michael’s image and life.

Here it is HEAL THE WORLD!

This is it. Now I am crying.

This song is a meditation and a challenge.  Heal the World

In the light of Pope Benedict XVI’s new encyclical, Charity in Truth , the song is even more meaningful. The Pope’s encyclical begins:

“Charity in truth, to which Jesus Christ bore witness by his earthly life and especially by his death and resurrection, is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity. Love — caritas — is an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace. It is a force that has its origin in God, Eternal Love and Absolute Truth.”
