Liturgical worship is given a more noble form when it is celebrated in song, with the ministers of each degree fulfilling their ministry and the people participating in it. Indeed, through this form, prayer is expressed in a more attractive way, the mystery of the liturgy, with its hierarchical and community nature, is more openly shown, the unity of hearts is more profoundly achieved by the union of voices, minds are more easily raised to heavenly things by the beauty of the sacred rites, and the whole celebration more clearly prefigures that heavenly liturgy which is enacted in the holy city of Jerusalem.

Prayer to Saint Cecilia
O glorious saint, who chose to die
Instead of denying your King,
We pray you please to help us
As His fair praise we sing!
We lift our hearts in joyous song
To honor Him this way,
And while we sing, remembering,
To sing is to doubly pray.
At once in our hearts and in our tongues
We offer double prayer
Sent heavenward on winged notes
To praise God dwelling there.
While in our hearts and tongues we try
With song to praise God twice,
We ask dear saint, to help us be
United close to Christ!
Oración a Santa Cecilia
Señor y Dios nuestro, tú escogiste para tí desde sus más tíernos años a Santa Cecilia.
Ella amó a Dios, a su familia , a sus semejantes, hasta enregar todos sus bienes a los pobres.
Desde su imagen nos señala una ruta. Es un faro, luminoso en los acangilados del mundo.
Se nos muestra joven, hermosa, rixa, sana. Exhibe valentía, carácter, robustéz de alma...hasta enregar su vida.
Queremos aprender de ella esa fé y esa valentía para vivir nuestro crisianismo sin claudicar.
Lo pedimos por Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
Amén.
