Today, the Church prays and celebrates with Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. In one of his discourses on the psalms, Saint Augustine says: Praise the Lord with the lyre and make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! Sing to him an new song. Rid yourself of what is old and worn out, for you know a new song (Psalm 32, Sermon 1).
Every day, the Lord continues to sing his song of love in our hearts. He who makes the most beautiful music shares this gift with us. He invites us to sing a song with our lives, by living as his disciples and by learning day after day how to be the best examples of faith that we can. It is reassuring to know that He is constantly present to us, loving us and encouraging us to believe in ourselves.
Through the intercession of Saint Cecilia, may the Lord's song of love continue to resound in our hearts. Day after day, may our words and deeds help to harmonize with the music that He is already making within us.
Have a great day.
