Who is
more powerful, God or the devil?
Will
the devil ultimately succeed in foiling God’s plan?
Asked another way . . .
“How many will
there be, ultimately, in the number of the damned?”
More
than 3,500 people watched as Lucifer confronted St. John, the author of the
book of Revelation, with that very question in a theatrical performance at the
Magnificat Day of Thanksgiving Saturday, October 6, at the Kings Theater in
Brooklyn, NY.
The Seven
Mysteries of Salvation was written by Pierre-Marie Dumont – a French
layman and founding publisher of Magnificat,
a prayer and devotional magazine reaching hundreds of thousands of Catholics
worldwide every month. The Mysteries were performed by a troupe of New York actors,
a world-class symphony orchestra and choir . . . and me. I had the privilege of playing St. John.
The
Seventh Mystery – The Ultimate Triumph of
Love begins with Guiseppe Verdi’s Day
of Wrath, and ends with the orchestra, chorus and audience singing Sing With All The Saints by Ludwig van
Beethoven.
So, how
many do you think there will be,
ultimately, in the number of the damned?
It’s a question that affects not only each of us, but our families, our
friends and literally billions of people we don’t even know.
