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.

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 Church's seemingly never-ending liturgy wars have led people to take entrenched sides without asking what the Church herself really wants when it comes to worship, especially music.

Cardinal Sarah invites Catholics to rediscover the true meaning of worship, not in aesthetic preference, but in Christ Himself.

This book is a call to rediscover the beauty of Catholic sacred music as the heartbeat of worship.
