Georg Friedrich Händel - For Unto Us A Child Is Born
Para a Morcelita
"MESSIAH" Um Filme de WiLLiam Klein
"A Modern Visual Interpretation Of Handel's Masterpiece"
The Messiah 'O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion'
Se quiseres o filme, já sabes qual é o processo ...
Vinde e adorai o Senhor!
Por isso Ainda com o espírito da quadra natalícia apeteceu-me escrever uma história de Natal, quer dizer a história de Natal, mas de hoje!
Se Jesus Cristo tivesse nascido em Belém de 2007, imagino assim:
Maria, solteira, grávida e não do seu noivo, não iria fugia, com José, do Rei Herodes que declarou a morte aos bebes, mas sim das oportunidades pôs-modernas, eficientes e descomprometidas de preconceito social de “interromper” a gravidez.
A caminho de Bethlehem não iriam encontrar os pastores graciosos como se retrata no presépio, mas iria ser recebida por soldados de fronteiras, pouco simpáticos, exigindo identificações, interrogando e desconfiando que transportavam uma bomba ou uma conspiração para atacar, esperando “junto ao muro, diante de uma desanimadora barricada de betão, colossal com a altura de três andares, revestida de arame farpado”.
A Estrela cadente que chamou a atenção dos três Reis Magos, representado as raças humanas com Belchior, Baltazar e Gaspar, seria um "rocket" lançado a partir da Faixa de Gaza, mas mesmo assim não chama a atenção aos novos três rei Magos nem aquele do Ocidente que gosta muito da Paz, o rei Bush (Eu adorava acreditar na conferencia de Anapolis)
A gruta não seria aquecida pela vaquinha ou pelo burrinho, não teria uma manjedoira de palha, Jesus nascia no meio de sangue, gritos e sofrimento, porque estaria no meio de uma guerra, escutando os gritos de um povo em dor, de uma conflito brutal, sangrento e que parece não ter fim.
Na National Geographic - versão pt PÁG. 28 / DEZEMBRO 2007 - havia um artigo sobre como os cristãos estão a desaparecer em Belém. “A verdade é que Belém, a “pequena aldeia” venerada durante o Natal, é um dos lugares mais conflituosos do planeta.”
Não gosto que façam do Natal uma época comercial, devíamos todos perder mais tempo a pensar nisto……. O sofrimento da terra onde nasceu Jesus.

Mensagem de Natal do (nosso) Presidente
(Sem titulo)
The Waterboys - This is the Sea-Riding Giants
These things you keep
You'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!
Now if you're feelin' weary
If you've been alone too long
Maybe you've been suffering from
A few too many
Plans that have gone wrong
And you're trying to remember
How fine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like it's 1973
Well that was the river
This is the sea!
Wooo!
Now you say you've got trouble
You say you've got pain
You say've got nothing left to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
Nothing but chains
You're scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
But that was the river
This is the sea yeah!
Now i can see you wavering
As you try to decide
You've got a war in your head
And it's tearing you up inside
You're trying to make sense
Of something that you just can't see
Trying to make sense now
And you know you once held the key
But that was the river
And this is the sea!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Now i hear there's a train
It's coming on down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You've got still enough time
And you don't need no ticket
And you don't pay no fee
No you don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
Because that was the river
And this is the sea!
Behold the sea!

Feed the World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all
Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Spare a thought this Yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
You ain't gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Do they know it's Christmas time at all
Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world
Feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
