Mini-Documentary "Catholic Power Plant"

📌 Home! Sweet Home! 📌
In 1862, during the American Civil War, the fiercest “Battle of Fredericksburg”.
Confederate and Union forces were facing each other between the Rappahannock River.
During the day, fierce battles were waged, and at night, both military bands held concerts to boost morale.
But one day, unexpected music played by the military band of the Union Army.
“Home! Sweet Home!”
A gentle melody resounded through the bloody battlefield, and both soldiers sang together and wept.
And they ran out into the river, forgetting that they were enemies, hugging each other, throwing their hats into the sky, and cheering.
Frank Mixson's record of seeing this scene on the spot.
“Everyone went crazy!”
A song composed by John Howard Payne with lyrics to the melody of Henry Rowley Bishop's opera 'Clari, Lady of Milan'.
However, John Howard Payne never had a family.
Even when he was writing his lyrics, he was living a miserable wandering life with no money in Paris, France.
He wanders until his death and dies on an unknown roadside.
A song was written by a man who never had a home, dreaming of normal life at home. “Home! Sweet Home!”
Home is a wonderful gift from God.
Have you forgotten the importance of family and live your life looking forward?
“As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.” (John 13,34)
Father And Mother I Love You = FAMILY
