Pope Francis praised Catholic choir members of all ages on Saturday, calling music “a universal and immediate language.”
Choir members and musicians provide a “precious service” to the Church, he said on the morning of June 8 in an audience with parish and diocesan choirs, scholæ cantorum, directors, and musicians.
Speaking in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall, the pope said, “Music creates harmony, thereby reaching everyone, consoling those who suffer, rekindling enthusiasm in the downhearted, and bringing forth wonderful values such as beauty and poetry, which reflect God’s harmonious light.
“Music, indeed,” he added, “is a universal and immediate language that requires no translation or elaborate explanation.”
