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

Rediscovering the Beauty of Catholic Sacred Music

Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect emeritus of the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, explores the true meaning of worship in his book "The Song of the Lamb: Sacred Music and the Heavenly Liturgy".

Alongside Peter Carter, director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project, Cardinal Sarah delves into the rich tradition of Catholic sacred music, tracing its history from the Church's earliest days to the Second Vatican Council and beyond.

The Church's seemingly never-ending liturgy wars have led to entrenched sides, but what does the Church really want when it comes to worship, especially music?

In "The Song of the Lamb", Cardinal Sarah invites Catholics to rediscover the true meaning of worship, focusing on Christ Himself rather than aesthetic preferences.
