19. How can music draw us closer to God? - With Matthew Ward
Did you know that medieval chants were believed to echo the voices of angels? In this episode of Into the Truth, we speak with Dr Matthew Ward, a liturgical musician and scholar, about the spiritual and transformative power of music in Catholic worship. They explore how Christ Himself used music, the history of Gregorian chant and polyphony, and the challenges of creating sacred music for today’s Church.
Dr Ward introduces Psalms for All Seasons, a unique project for the updated Catholic Lectionary, which integrates seasonal melodies to enrich prayer and deepen the Church’s connection to its liturgical year. Discover how ancient traditions can inspire a revival of beauty in worship and how music continues to bridge heaven and earth.
If you love liturgical music, chant, and exploring the spiritual depth of the Mass, this episode is for you.
