The importance of liturgical rhythms
During eucharistic celebrations, musical rites play a key role. There are several key moments that involve processions, such as entry, proclamation of the gospel, offering, and finally communion. Each of these moments can be accompanied by songs that enrich the spiritual experience of the attendees.
Communion: a moment of spiritual connection
Particularly during communion, which often takes place in the Dominical Masss with great assistance, a space for music is given. The singing usually begins when the celebrant receives the communion and usually continues until all the faithful have received this sacred gift.
The roles of the songs
The songs chosen at this time often refer directly to the Eucharist, either through psalms or songs with stanzas and return that resonate with the message of the sacrament. However, it may happen that music is chosen that is not aligned with the spirit of the moment, which can divert the attention of the faithful.
Reconsider the Moment Musical
It is essential to reflect on the meaning of music during communion. Instead of considering an interval between actions, it should be a time of deep veneration and praise to the Lord. Music should accompany the spiritual journey of the faithful when receiving the body and blood of Christ.
A more significant approach
After communion, you can opt for a post -communion singing or instrumental music, which offers a space for reflection and gratitude for God. This moment can be an opportunity to meditate on the gift of the Eucharist, rather than a parenthesis in the celebration.
A transformative experience
We visit this moment with the dignity it deserves. We must not see communion as a simple ritual, but as a transformative experience in which the faithful, with the open heart, approach the lord. Thus, we can savor his mercy and kindness in our lives.
