The story of St. Cecilia:
St. Cecilia lived in Rome and was born to a very rich family. She was given in marriage to a man named Valerian. During her wedding ceremony, she was said to have sung in her heart to the Lord while the musicians were playing. She converted her husband and her brother-in-law, Tibertius, to Catholicism. St. Cecilia spent her time preaching and was able to convert over 400 people to Catholicism. She was arrested and became a martyr for the Church.
The Musician's Prayer:
Oh Lord, please bless this music that it might glorify your name. May the talent that you have bestowed upon me be used only to serve you.
Let this music be a witness to your majesty and love, and remind us that you are always watching, and listening, from your throne above.
May your presence and beauty be found in every note, and may the words that are sung reach the hearts of your people so they will draw closer to you.
May your Spirit guide us through every measure so that we might be the instruments of your peace, and proclaim your glory with glad voices.
Amen
