We are Barabbas

But I grew up with hymns

Some emails I simply must share(question raised about those who want only hymns because that's all they know).  

Let me put it this way. You're preferring what some dude or dudette wrote about God, to singing with God? Jesus, the Word of God sang the Psalms, the Word of God, not what some dude or dudette wrote about Jesus. And Jesus chanted these Psalms (chant is the musical vehicle for Judaism to this day). Y U NO WANNA CHANT W/JESUS?

 

Liturgy is supposed to be an entrance into the life of the Trinitarian God. Not reduced to "I have reservations because I grew up with Liturgy being something entirely different."

For the record, I'm not against necessarily against hymns, just replacing the Mass with hymns.

St. Pius X, ora pro nobis!
