[:en]The St. Olaf Choir from Northfield, Minnesota is renowned for its excellence. All members are chosen based not only on how well they sing but also on how they sound as part of the whole. They agree to make the choir their first priority and commit to a rigorous rehearsal and performance schedule. During their rehearsals, whenever members make a mistake, they raise their hands to call attention to it. This allows the conductor to help each singer learn the difficult part to render a flawless performance.
When Jesus encountered a Samaritan woman at the well, He revealed her past history and made her admit it by promising her forgiveness and a better way of life.
As members of Christ’s body on earth, we must not be afraid to admit our wrongs. Let us not hide our sins and put our flaws behind. Let us face them honestly to enjoy God’s forgiveness and love.[:]
