Music
The charism of music enables some to praise God through one’s passion for music. Someone with the gift of music is given a special grace to compose, perform, direct and create music in a way that affects others in a positive manner. This gifts allows others to experience the truth, beauty and goodness of the Lord in a personal and spiritually uplifting way. One exercising this gift brings others to praise God through various forms of music and enhances the worship experience of the parish community. The gift of music involves skills in singing, playing an instrument or may include the ability to select appropriate music for a worship service or parish event.
An individual with the charism of music finds joy and life in creating, performing and listening to music. For one with this gift, musical performance is a powerful form of prayer for not only themselves, but anyone blessed to hear the gift flowing from the person with this charism.
Although music can be a natural talent, when the gift is alive it becomes a special grace of the Holy Spirit. Their talent offers their gift for the benefit of others, completely for the glory of God. Just to note, not all music created through this Charism must be religious in nature. The Holy Spirit may work through any music that lifts the soul and celebrates the beauty of God’s creation.
