The Sacredness of Liturgical Music
-|-
James Marck
What happened to the sacred music that once filled the Catholic Church with awe and reverence? How did traditional music shape the worshipper’s soul and connect them to the divine? And how can we restore this lost treasure of our faith? Join James Marck as he explores these questions and more in this engaging lesson.
INDIVIDUAL & SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- What is the relationship between sacred music and sacred space in relation to how they impact our worship? Altogether, how has liturgical music impacted your worship experience?
- How did the image of abstract liturgical music and liturgy resonate with you?
- In reality, secular institutions are the custodians of sacred music. Discuss what is positive and negative in that relationship.
