Finalist: Resources for Liturgy
Singing the liturgy is one of the most important aspects of the faithful’s participation at Mass. Music gives the liturgy a more dignified expression of praise for God, its texts reflect our Catholic beliefs, and the shared prayer unifies the faithful as one Body in Christ. Music ministers have an important role as people of prayer. And in that role, they must know how to select music that is liturgically appropriate, pastorally accessible, and of high musical quality. This resource provides a simple overview of the meaning of the liturgy and the role music plays in the liturgical rites. Grounded in the liturgical documents, it will help diverse communities of faith participate through singing the Mass and sacramental rites of the Church.
