As I said above, I'm convinced that Jesus, the risen Christ, still suffers. He is risen but still wounded. He is resurrected, but forever bears the marks of his ordeal. They still hurt him in his soul, if not in his body. So when I pray to God on behalf of Jesus, I simply offer up my heart, as small and imperfect as it is, and ask the Father to let me help comfort his Son by allowing me to share in his pain, if such will help, even if only in the smallest measure.

The canticle in your post very much reminds me of the doxologies we sing every Sunday in the Methodist Church (They are used in lots of other faiths as well). Ever since I was a little girl, this has been one of my favorite parts of the worship service. I think it is because it is so uplifting and the congregation always sings it with gusto! Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow Praise Him, all creatures here below Praise Him above, ye heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Amen And Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise God, all creatures here below: Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise God, the source of all our gifts! Praise Jesus Christ, whose power uplifts! Praise the Spirit, Holy Spirit! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Hi Julie!

Amen

And

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise God, all creatures here below: Alleluia! Alleluia!
