Join Patti Brunner for the Truth of the Spirit\\u2019s \\u201cSongs of Meaning in the Mass\\u201d The sacred music sung during a Eucharistic Celebration "is not an accessory or embellishment of the liturgy, but is the liturgy itself." The ancient songs of scripture: \\u2018Holy, Holy\\u2019, \\u2018Glory to God in the Highest\\u2019 and Psalms are offered as proclamation and prayer; music joined to the Word of God is meant to draw people into an encounter with the living Word of God, who is Christ. Music is a gift of God that opens for us a glimpse of God\\u2019s glory. Sacred song "cooperates in nourishing and expressing the faith and, therefore, in glorifying God and sanctifying the faithful." When you hear singing during the Mass, it is never \\u201cfiller\\u201d or a time to let yourself to be distracted. It is always a key moment of the liturgy.
