"Imagine your favorite movie without any music. Scenes normally inspiring, dreadful, or joyful would seem quite dull and boring. Music can bring about many different emotions in us. It can bring back memories: the first time you fell in love, the nerves before a big race, or a time of deep sorrow. The same can be said for many memorable moments in the mass in one's life: a couple picking out music for their wedding day, music that reminds them of the sacramental union they are entering into; or a group of friars preparing for solemn vows, choosing the music to reflect how God's grace brought them to this moment. The music in the liturgy has the power to move the passions tremendously."
In a recent commentary using the example of disc golf, Brother Jerome Masters, O.P.,
reflected on the some of the blessings related to music in the liturgy.
