Cardinal Sarah’s ‘The Song of the Lamb’ explores the beauty of Catholic Sacred Music as the heartbeat of worship

Cardinal Sarah's 'The Song of the Lamb' Explores Catholic Sacred Music

Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect emeritus of the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship, invites Catholics to rediscover the true meaning of worship in his book 'The Song of the Lamb'.

In this groundbreaking work, Cardinal Sarah and Peter Carter, director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project, delve into the tradition of Catholic sacred music, tracing its history from the Church's earliest days to the Second Vatican Council and beyond.

People throughout Catholicism have taken entrenched sides in the Church's seemingly never-ending liturgy wars without asking what the Church herself really wants when it comes to worship, especially when it comes to music.

The book explores the beauty of Catholic Sacred Music as the heartbeat of worship, focusing on Christ Himself rather than aesthetic preference.
