Psalm Offerings Opus 7 #3: A musical prayer for the victims of trump’s immigration policies
I composed this psalm offering shortly after trump abused his powers as president to prevent families fleeing the violence of the Middle East from entering our country. I resubmit it here today as a prayer for the children ripped from the arms of their mothers and fathers because of trump. I offer it up for all those abused and are being destroyed from this heartless, soulless tyrant who is currently occupying the oval office. I offer it up in hopes that the Congress controlled at this time by a spineless, immoral political party may undergo a major conversion in their lives; that their hearts of stone may be transformed into human hearts, once more and end the tyranny of the horrible person who calls himself president, but is nothing but a petty dictator.

I am a composer, performer, poet, educator, spiritual director, and permanent deacon of the Catholic Church. I just recently retired after 42 years of full-time ministry in the Catholic Church. I continue to serve in the Church part-time. I have been blessed to be united in marriage to my bride, Ruth, since 1974. I am father to four wonderful adult children, and grandfather to five equally wonderful grandchildren. In my lifetime, I have received a B.A. in Music (UST), M.A. in Pastoral Studies (St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity, UST), Certified Spiritual Director. Ordained to the Permanent Diaconate for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, in 1991. Composer, musician, author, poet, educator. The Gospels drive my political choices, hence, leading me toward a more liberal, other-centered politics rather than conservative politics. The great commandment of Jesus to love one another as he has loved us, as well as the criteria he gives in Matthew 25 by which we are to be judged at the end of time directs my actions and thoughts.
