Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Monday, February 15, 2010

Sing praise to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious song. With trumpets and the sound of horns sing joyfully.
-
Psalms 98:5-6

Reflection: As a manifestation of the human spirit, music performs a function that is noble, unique, and irreplaceable. When music is truly beautiful and inspired, it speaks to us more than all the other acts of goodness, virtue, and peace.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: When I hear beautiful music, O Lord, it lifts up my spirit. May I always cherish things of beauty, music, art, nature, and anything else that can draw me closer to You.
