11 new contemporary songs in
Sarah’s folk-pop style
The collection presents 11 brand new compositions in Sarah’s
inimitable folk-pop style. Texts include poems, prayers and other
writings by some of the Church’s most revered doctors and
theologians. St. Augustine figures prominently, as do women mystics
like Catherine of Siena, Hildegard of Bingen and Mechthild of
Magdeburg.
CD booklet contains
devotional and catechetical material
With sub-sections titled Read, Reflect, Respond and Rest (in the CD
booklet), each song becomes a devotional and catechetical exercise.
“Read” features the complete song text along with a short bio of the
saintly author. In “Reflect,” Sarah shares her personal thoughts on
the text. “Respond” is a prayer or petition inspired by the text,
while “Rest” offers a theme for meditation.
Great for youth and young
adult ministries, prayer and more
Combine that devotional content with Sarah’s heartfelt performance
of these songs and you get a powerful resource for personal prayer
and more. Offering several songs for use in the liturgy,
SaintSong is great for youth and young adult ministries,
retreats, sacramental preparation, and prayer services.
Ancient texts that still
apply to modern times
The lyrics for “Restless” include St. Augustine’s famous line “We
are restless till we rest in you [God].” As Sarah explains in her
reflection, that’s a universal experience. All people of all times
hunger for God—even if they don’t know it consciously. The same can
be said of the other song texts here: written centuries ago, they
still apply to us in our time.
A project six years in the making,
SaintSong puts ear-pleasing, contemporary clothes on some
of the Church’s most beloved texts from the past two millennia.
