If Liturgy is God’s gift to man, then sacred music should immerse us in the atmosphere of Heaven. Get Your Copy of Cardinal Sarah’s “Song of the Lamb” here”: https://ignatius.com/the-song-of-the-lamb-slsmp/ Cardinal Robert Sarah was the prefect of the congregation for divine worship from 2014 until 2021, and he has now published a new book “Song of the Lamb” which outlines his thoughts on the spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music. This book was written in dialogue with Peter Carter as the two trace the history of sacred music in the Church and outline the guidelines for sacred music today. We are very grateful that Peter Carter joined Andrew Peteprin to discuss this momentous work and his active role in putting it together.
