Few things can control our emotions and feelings like music. There is scientific proof of this. So how do we know these limits and boundaries? Hear Fr. Chris explain the power of music for the good or the bad and how St. Cecilia can help us.

Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains that Heaven is not a prize for those who are just good, but for those who are active disciples of Christ. Then hear the story of Hearts for Music, an inspiring group that brings children and adults with profound disabilities together through the universal language of music and compassion.

One of the most beautiful things in the worship of Our Lord at Mass is music. Marian Postulant Austin explains how sacred music, the song and the language of the angels, is a gift from God that gives expression to the soul and dignifies ritual and worship.
