      It's so hard to believe in something you can't see and when you hear so many stories about who is right and wrong. But those feelings in your gut that guides you to right and wrong, those goosebumps on your skin when something touches you emotionally, that desire to help someone who is less fortunate than you are is the same love God has and is what drives humankind to do good things in the world. Sicknesses, cancers, broken hearts don't come from God. Our ability to learn from these trials, fight through them and the tell our story to someone else, our growth as human beings when we make it through tragedy is proof of love we can't see. A relationship with God has nothing to do with anyone else here on earth. I have been in some really dark places on my life but every time I would hear a bird chirp or feel the sun on my face or the wind in my hair and realize even though I am small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things and in this huge world even I can do good for someone else and that is love.

      There is nothing Catholic in the song, and nothing about faith in it either. Leonard Cohen's use of the word "Hallelujah" is not religious, but secular, and in a sense blasphemous. For a priest to sing this at the altar, while vested for Mass, and (it seems) during a wedding Mass is not lovely or nice, but is in fact shocking. All the more shocking that so many people think it is lovely.
