“Be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing to the Lord with your heart.” Ephesians 5: 18-19
Learn to sing a collection of Catholic hymns and songs, and you’ll be able to bring God’s love and peace to yourself and your children. In other words, you’ll make each other happy by singing! You will praise God and honor Mary by your songs.
Bringing Catholic music into your family life is a blessing for everyone. Bedtime routine at our house has always included Catholic hymns after night prayers. Many parents sing nursery rhymes like Rock-a-Bye Baby and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to their children at bedtime. Add in Good Night, Sweet Jesus, and you will bless their little souls with grace just as they drift off to sleep.
Ok, so how do you learn the music? Just:
1) Pick a song from the Catholic Songs to Learn and Sing, 2) Click the orange play button in the embeded sound recording from SoundCloud, and 3) Read the words and sing along.
I am so excited that the sound recordings can be played right on the page, and you don’t have to go to another site and login to hear the music! It is so easy! I really hope you enjoy the recordings, even though they aren’t professionally recorded!
The songs I’ve recorded are sorted alphabetically by liturgical season or topic. I will be slowly adding songs as time permits. Email me any requests and suggestions at traditionalcatholicliving@gmail.com!
Note: I’m not a professional singer, and my voice isn’t perfectly in tune all the time, but I still love to sing. Your kids won’t notice if you have a few wrong notes, either. Don’t be afraid to sing. An elderly nun once told me, “Sing with your heart, and God hears all the right notes.” 🙂
