Details:
I think that sometimes people think of “the saints” as a kind of conglomerate of boring, holy people. That “the saints” are a bunch of people who spent their lives staring up to heaven and had no real personalities of their own. But nothing could be further than the truth. The saints lived real flesh-and-blood lives, and each had his or her unique personality.
This collection of saints is hopefully a good look into the diversity of the saints, and how each saint is quite unique. In this collection, there’s a mother who so loved her child she died for her (Gianna Molla), there’s a once-public sinner who laments his wasted youth (Augustine), there’s a teenager who wants to be a Jesuit more than anything (John Berchmans), there’s a man who laid down his life for a stranger (Maximillian Kolbe), and there’s a guy who loves a good laugh (Philip Neri).
I wanted a collection of saints and songs that were earthy and tangible. I wanted to represent the saints with “some meat on their bones.” Although some of the songs on this CD are more “meditative”, this is not a meditation CD. Some of the songs are meant to be played loud in a car stereo (Ignatius of Antioch and John Berchmans in particular, I think).
If you''re curious about me, I am a real Catholic priest. I was ordained for the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas in 2003. Currently I am pastor of Sacred Heart in Sabetha, St. Augustine in Fidelity, and St. James in Wetmore, KS. Music, I guess, is a bit of a hobby for me. I see it as an extension of my ministry; an opportunity to present the faith in a unique way.
I hope that this CD is an enjoyable listen for you. And more than anything, I hope that it inspires you to learn more about the saints. They found their own path to follow Jesus Christ, and we could learn a lot from them.
