Thank You Baker o7
Good morning prayerfags, and welcome to November 8th, the 22nd Sunday after Trinity. Johann Sebastian Bach, considered by many to be the greatest church musician EVER, wrote 3 cantatas for Trinity 22, and today we listen to Cantata 115, Mache dich, mein Geist, bereit (Prepare yourself, my soul), first performed on November 5, 1724 at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where Bach spent the last 30 years of his career. Today’s performance is by Collegium Vocale de Leipzig / Ensemble Baroque de Limoges / Christophe Coin.
"Therefore let us always
be awake, entreat and pray,
since anguish, distress and danger
approach ever nearer;
for the time
is not far
when God will judge us
And destroy the world."
