The Beat

Every human loves a good beat-- it moves us, draws us in, motivates or soothes us. A beat brings us to dance. Where does this love come from? Why does it have this power over us?

A priest recently suggested we look at our beginnings. What is the first sound our ears must hear? The beating of our mother's heart. This is why babies are often soothed simply by resting their head against their mothers' chests. There is something beautiful and comforting in that beat.

Through rap music, Satan takes this fact and uses it to lure us into his trap. He hooks in his prey with the strong beat, and then whispers his evil to them, and perverts the beauty of our mothers' hearts.
