“Dressing with care and reverence for Mass is a sign—not just to God, but to others—of our awareness of the sacred.”

Sunday is not exactly a day of rest—I’m sure many people working in Sacred Music would heartily agree!
It may feel like forever, but children do grow up. The days are long but the years are short. Today’s toddlers are tomorrow’s altar servers and choir members. Then we can look back and whisper a “Thanks be to God.”
Maybe music is not the instant solution, but definitely a help.
