Sacred Music is a Treasure

At his Wednesday Audience on August 19, Pope Leo said this about sacred music: "Indeed, singing and playing a musical instrument are acts of prayer. Music thus fosters our unity in praising God and opens our hearts to be fashioned by his grace. Far from being merely decorative, therefore, sacred music is a treasure of profound value. It should always be dignified, draw inspiration from Sacred Scripture and reflect the grandeur of the mystery celebrated." Katie opened up the phone lines to hear from listeners about their favorite hymns that are a profound treasure to them.
