Dear Saint Cecilia,
one thing we know for certain about you
is that you became a heroic martyr
in fidelity to your Divine Bridegroom.
We do not know that you were a musician
but we are told that you heard Angels sing.
Inspire musicians to gladden the hearts of people
by filling the air with God's gift of music
and reminding them of the divine Musician who created all beauty.
Amen.
