One of the major turning points for me in my reversion back to Jesus and His Catholic Church was in doing a complete overhaul of the type of media I watched and listened to during the day. This meant no movies with triggering content or blasphemy, and most importantly wholesome music that likewise didn’t have blasphemy or crude/vulgar lyrics. Basically, if I couldn’t picture myself listening or watching something with Jesus in the room then it meant it wasn’t for us. With that said, I would like to welcome you to post your wholesome music favorites. It can be Church Hymns, Sacred Music, Classical, Instrumentals, or wholesome secular music. I’ll go first! Lately, I’ve really been enjoying these artists: The Hillbilly Thomists Catholic LoFi -by Matt Fradd Brother Isaiah L’indécis
Sorry this is kind of a thread necro but I just came across this... here is my favorite piece of sacred music and probably my favorite piece of classical music altogether:
And also for something completely different... EDM in general is not known for being wholesome, but this guy is literally the only Christian dubstep producer that I've come across:
Nothing to be sorry for; remembering the dead and resurrecting the dead is a very Catholic thing! lol Thanks for sharing the music!
Some pieces that take me back to my choir days. I particularly loved singing William Byrd’s Mass for 3 voices I also wanted to share this piece, which I find just absolutely beautiful. The lyrics: Word of God, one with the Most High, in whom alone we have our hope, Everlasting light of heaven and earth, We break the silence of the peaceful night; Saviour divine, cast thine eyes upon us! Pour on us the fire of thy mighty grace, That all hell may flee at the sound of thy voice: Banish the slumber of a weary soul, That brings forgetfulness of thy laws! O Christ, look with favour upon thy faithful people Now gathered here to praise thee; Receive their hymns offered to thy endless glory; May they go forth filled with thy gifts.
This guy is a bit more of a hippy, progressive Christian, but this is a song that always resonated with me when I was fallen away from the church. Looking back I think it was one of the few threads that kept me attached; it was God refusing to turn his face away from me, as it says in the Psalms:
I shared this song earlier in a separate thread but I think maybe this is a better place. Enjoy! :-D El León de la tribu de Judá (The Lion of the Tribe of Judah) The Lion of the tribe of Judah Jesus overcame the chains and set us free He is our torch of victory Our strength in times of weakness A tower in wartime Oh, the hope of Israel He risen He risen He risen Hallelujah He overcame death with power He overcame death with power He overcame death with power, he rose Demons flee when the people sing Demons flee when the fire falls Demons flee because they cannot bear the praise of the King. To the king, Yahweh, He is the holy one To the king, Yahweh, thrice holy Life and song are only for Him
Ven, ven, ven, Espíritu divino (Come, come, come, Divine Spirit) Come, come, come, Divine Spirit Come, come, come, come closer to me. Come, come, come, Divine Spirit Come, come, come, come closer to me. Take over, take over, take over my whole being. Take over, take over, take over my whole being. Here you feel the presence of God. Here you feel the presence of God. I feel the fire of the Holy Spirit, I feel the fire of the Holy Spirit. I feel joy I feel peace I feel love that my God gives me, I feel joy, I feel peace, I feel love. that my God gives me. Here you feel the presence of God, Here you feel the presence of God
I think this song is beautiful and inspiring, it transport us to the God's presence. It made me cry just a moment ago because I remembered my most recent fall and I felt pain in my soul because of my sins. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Adorándote (Adoring you) Oh oh oh oh, adoring you, loving you.
