the song of faith

 Today, we remembered St. Cecilia. She sang in her heart to the Lord, and now she is the patron on musicians.

From Magnificat -

For those who are depressed by the burden of their suffering:

      - grant them the faith that enabled Saint Cecilia to sing the song of faith in her heart.

For those who have lost the gift of joy in the daily round of life:

      - grant them gladness of heart.

For those who serve the church at worship through the medium of music:

      - grant them rejoicing.
