Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect emeritus of the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship, invites Catholics to rediscover the true meaning of worship in his book 'The Song of the Lamb'.
Co-authored with Peter Carter, director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project, the book explores the beauty of Catholic Sacred Music as the heartbeat of worship, tracing its tradition from the Church's earliest days to the Second Vatican Council and beyond.
People throughout Catholicism have taken entrenched sides in the Church's seemingly never-ending liturgy wars without asking what the Church herself really wants when it comes to worship, especially when it comes to music.
The book aims to help Catholics understand the true meaning of worship, not in aesthetic preference, but in Christ Himself.
