Speaking personally, modern Christian music changed my life of faith forever. While the Holy Spirit did all the hard work on my heart, for me, music was the vehicle. Praise and Worship, verses of Scripture popping up in songs, English translations of beautiful Latin hymns, and music with messages of conviction carried me through the difficulties of American teen life, psychological and spiritual battles, exploration into religious learning, and launched me into an adult life in which I wanted to live boldly as a Catholic Christian! My husband chuckles, but music continues to be a way into my heart today.
So, I humbly share with you a piece of my heart! For the teens at Saint Agnes, maybe you will find a new artist who inspires you, a song that is relevant, or a hymn that reminds you to pray during a difficult moment. Only the Holy Spirit can know what difference it might make to you!
This week, I would like to share a song from the rap artist Lecrae, whose experience of forgiveness after an abortion led to his conversion and a new message in his music. I admire the clarity with which Lecrae now seems to understand himself and others. His message of brokenness and mercy makes me want to crack open my Bible, visit the confessional, go to Adoration, make amends and fresh beginnings, and soak up some of that good stuff myself!
If you are interested in meeting other people who share an interest in Christian music and have a Catholic focus on Praise and Worship, your chance is coming in February!
