A MASS FOR PEACE
In the Third MillenniumThis is an inspired musical work that will touch your heart and lead you closer to Christ through the sacred liturgy of the Tridentine Latin Mass. With his unique, heartfelt focus on the liturgy, composer Dr. John W. Vitz has created a moving spiritual experience that is exhilarating, exalted, and prayerful.
The CD includes a FREE booklet containing the Latin words and complete English translation, personal notes and the intriguing story about the CD cover art and its creator, Frederich Hart.
John Kendall Bailey conducts the orchestra and chorus in a performance to remember!
The Mystery of Faith
The very first Mass was offered by Jesus Christ, Himself — at The Last Supper. Jesus, as the High Priest, consecrated bread and wine into His Body and Blood as a remembrance of “The New and Everlasting Covenant” between God and Humanity. Part 1 (below) explains “The Mystery of Faith” in greater detail.
