ON THE COVER: Sanctuary of St. Joseph Church, Middletown, DE, by Lawrence R. Hoy (Renovata Studios Inc.), won Best of Show in ML's Visual Arts Awards Sacred Symbols & Architecture category. For more VAA winners, click here.
From Inside ML: If not for music, how could we communicate as disciples, as Christians, as lovers of our Lord? Words alone fail utterly to express the anguish, passion, union, and joy that is our lot. Our worship, our praise, is given form, texture, color, and life by the music that weaves in and around it. Our liturgy is whole only when music is an integral part, not adding to our common prayer nor completing it but rather forming its essence, permeating its very root. In our sung prayer, we find communion with each other and with all who have sung before, bound together with the Holy Spirit. “God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source. Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises” (Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, 1 [USCCB, 2007]). (More)
