Rediscovering the Beauty of Catholic Sacred Music
Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect emeritus of the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, invites Catholics to rediscover the true meaning of worship in his book The Song of the Lamb: Sacred Music and the Heavenly Liturgy.
Co-authored with Peter Carter, director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project, the book explores the spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music, tracing it from the Church's earliest days to the Second Vatican Council and beyond.
The Church's seemingly never-ending liturgy wars have led people to take entrenched sides without asking what the Church herself really wants when it comes to worship, especially music.
In The Song of the Lamb, Cardinal Sarah and Carter dive into the beauty of Catholic sacred music as the heartbeat of worship, emphasizing that true worship is not about aesthetic preference, but about Christ Himself.
