Fifth Sunday in Lent (Year C)

It is the season of Lent for many Christians around the world. A time of fasting and prayer. And if the life of prayer could be strengthened by fasting from music, Lent would likely be music-less in the Church. For most people, however, music is an aid, not an obstacle to prayer, as you will hear on the next Sing For Joy.
