Music - true music is that which humans express through harmonious thoughts and feelings

05/08/2025

Among all those who create or perform music, how many of them manage to lead a musical life? Very few. In fact, it is astonishing to see so many musicians, capable of composing or interpreting works of great harmony, whose lives are visibly disordered and chaotic. And yet music, true music, the only kind of music pleasing to the Creator, is not that of the masses, requiems, oratorios or cantatas with which human beings celebrate the power and glory of God. The only music capable of reaching the Lord’s ears is that which human beings express through harmonious thoughts, feelings and gestures, in all of life’s circumstances. In this sense, each one of us can become a musician.*
