FREE for Locals patrons here at Sing With Grace. I compiled this collection of simple, traditional Advent prayers and hymns for my family and for yours this season of patient expectation.
I find they're best proclaimed around the family Advent Wreath or dinner table (lighting candles adds to the mystery, vulnerability, and beauty of singing together as a family).
I'm delighted you're here. This Locals is a space for Catholic families who want to bring sacred music and Catholic music into their homes—without the overwhelm.
Next steps:
1. Introduce yourself below! Tell me your name, where you're from, and what brought you here
2. What are you hoping for? Saint songs for your kids? Help with the liturgical year? Just beautiful music to pray with?
3. Explore! Check out the content tab for exclusive music, resources, and the feed for behind-the-scenes content!
I can't wait to get to know you. This is going to be good, true, and beautiful. 🕯️
Good morning, lovely folks!
It’s such a gift to have y’all here in this Locals group. 💜
I just posted a recording of the first week’s Advent hymn from our booklet over on my YouTube channel. I hope it blesses your home and helps you and your families learn it together around your Advent wreath this week!
Absolutely DELIGHTED to share all of the orchestrations are complete for the upcoming saint songs album! 🌟 This was quite the undertaking as I've never composed for orchestra in my life (I watched a lot of YouTube for the strings section. I was in concert band for years, so that part came a bit easier).
The Holy Spirit has truly inspired me throughout this process AND sent me some pro help to push the music across the finish line to that Broadway / cinematic sound we adore.
It seems fitting that my first post here on Locals is sharing the release of Our Lady's Saint Song entitled "Mary Working Song."
I was originally inspired by the Disney idea of "merrily working" shared in Snow White & Enchanted. I thought certainly Our Lady swept and cleaned dishes merrily.
And then I realized, her day to day life was so much more than that. She was caring for the Son of God. Her Messiah. Her King.
Our Lady, Soverign Queen of Christians, pray for us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us.
(If you missed it, Saint Song 1 is a FABULOUS one for children and adults alike: "I Rely Upon God." Inspired by Saint Joan of Arc's incredible courage and faith in the midst of problems (Elsa ain't got nothing on Joan).
Godspeed, friends.
Grace
