Very many thanks

Dear Bob and dear Friends,


very many thanks for all your efforts to bring music and prayer together in such a beautiful way. Thank you to keep alive the living tradition of inspired elevated music combined with theological texts.
 

I am sure many youngsters would enjoy this altogether educational and prayerful way of living the Mass. So much richness is included in it and is to be discovered and deepened.
 

I really wish many people would be able to enjoy and participate to your "banquet" in all other Masses. "Sacred Music" is part of our living Faith. We are loosing a lot by avoiding that "door" or "stain glass" that leads to the Incarnated Lord.
 

Very many thanks again for your constant efforts, and have a blessed Easter.
Jean K.
