Sister Janet Mead
THE LORDS'S PRAYER
A&M SP-3639
I believe that life is a unity and therefore not divided into compartments. That means that worship, music, recreation, work and all other "little boxes" of our lives are really inseparable and this is why I believe that people should be given the opportunity to worship God with the Language and music that is part of their ordinary life. The words of the songs on this record almost all come from books of the Bible, which so richly express the longings of man's heart, his loneliness, his joy, his dependence on God, his desire to love his fellow man and to live in peace. We all recognize these yearnings - they are ours and are common to each of our lives.
In the "Lord's Prayer" there is a phrase which expresses whaat I believe is Christ's ideal. It says "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." That is what I think Christ tried to bring about. He kept talking about initiating the kingdom of heaven on earth. What I think he meant was that he wanted us to share in his vision of drawing people together in happiness, joy and peace. Music has all the qualities to help in this - it breaks down barriers, unites, makes us forget ourselves, makes us aware of others and is totally involving.
In my life I have had the great happiness of seeing many people work together for good. My parents who first taught me to love, the community of nuns in which I work, the students in my school in Adelaide, my very numerous freinds, the young people who have devoted their time to preparing each week for hours for their Youth Masses and now the record company with which I have worked to make this record. If I, one person, have seen so many people of good will in a comparatively short life, surely it is innately in us all to work together in our own small way for the unity of mankind.
