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

Cardinal Sarah's Perspective on Catholic Sacred Music

Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect emeritus of the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, explores the beauty of Catholic Sacred Music 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 spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music, tracing its history from the Church's earliest days to the Second Vatican Council and beyond.

The true meaning of worship is not in aesthetic preference, but in Christ Himself.

The book invites Catholics to rediscover the true meaning of worship, moving beyond entrenched positions in the Church's liturgy wars to understand what the Church herself really wants when it comes to worship, especially in regards to music.
