The phrase “sing to the Lord” appears more than 300 times in the Scripture. Sung praise seems to be God’s favorite form of prayer, for the Bible instructs us to sing to the Lord, “come into God’s presence with singing; make melody to the Lord; sing to the Lord a new song, and enter God’s court in songs.” God loves music, and He loves to hear us sing.
As we all are called to discipleship let us offer our God-given voice to pray and sing praise to our loving God, His favorite form of prayer. We are inviting everyone dedicated to being a part of our Music Ministry to lead the faithful in singing praise and worship to God for our 9 a.m. Mass at our Blessed Stepinac worship site, for the 1st Friday at 7 pm. Mass at our Holy Child Jesus Parish or to be a part of the Filipino choir to lead in songs and prayers for our Filipino Mass celebrations.
The famous quote attributed to St. Augustine is, “Singing is praying twice.” What better way to help lead the lay faithful during Mass in raising our voices in prayers by singing in the choir.
For anyone who is interested or would like more information, please email Ian Noel Camilotes at icamilotes@archchicago.org or speak to him after those masses.
