The music came from my heart today! And made me
feel emotions coming from the text! Because I felt like Mary was
listening.
-
I learned about St. James songs. I feel happy.
I singed to Father Ryan.
-
When we sang for Father Ryan it made me feel
good.
-
God is like a neverending song.
-
When I sang anything in the church, I saw other
people watching us sing and I felt very happy to bring my signing
into someone else’s life. There will always be someone who does not
know who God is and when they walk into the church we can help them
figure out what God can do and who he is.
-
When we sang “Dear Lord and Father of mankind”
it really was beautiful. It was amazing at how unified we were at
the same time it was really expressful, loud, and calming.
-
I feel like I sang to God and Maria and
expressed my love to them.
-
I feel inspired through the people around me to
sing because of the unity and friendship and glory. I also felt a
lot of respect today. When I sang in front of Mary, it made me feel
joy and love and beauty but also “Thou that art so fair and bright”
wore on, to me, it felt beautiful and calming and soothing. It
really felt awesome. I
made up a little prayer of gratitude:
“Bless, O Lord, your servants, as they sing in worship of
your name. May they be reminded by Mother Mary to be humble. In the
Lord’s Name we pray. Amen.”
-
I saw a guy praying and smiling and feeling
happy. When we were singing for Father you could see his face glow
with joy and happiness. So that’s what made me feel happy loved and
want to sing to people that might have no idea who Jesus, Mary, or
God is, and to teach them about Jesus is what makes me happy.
-
I feel like singing “Thou that art so fair and
bright” for the Mary shrine gave me a strong sense of peaceful joy.
-
When we sang “Dear Lord and Father of mankind”
next to the Mary statue, I felt holiness, peacefulness, and unity.
-
Today I was filled with joy when I sang. Every
time someone stops and listens to us, when they smile it brings me
more joy than any beautiful descant ever could. Sometimes I see
people I recognize because they hang around for the food kitchen.
And I know so many people have so little, and yet one song brings
them so much. I can see the joy on their faces. And when you see
someone that happy, you can’t help but be that happy yourself.
-
Some of the songs I like a lot are “Go down,
Moses” and “Nature’s praise.” Singing makes me feel happy and calm.
-
In the “Ave Maria” I was calm and at peace. And
in Nature’s Praise, I was energetic and excited and full of love
(mainly since I love Nature’s Praise). When we sang Thou That Art So
Fair and Bright to Mary, I felt calm, peaceful, respectful, and very
connected to Mary through the music and the words.
-
It is peaceful and joyful when we sing to Mary.
-
I like singing “Nature’s Praise” and feel very
happy and calm singing it. Another reason why I like singing
nature’s praise is because it reminds me of my pet dog and pet
hamster is are now in heaven.
-
Music helps make more friends. It made me happy
that Father Ryan likes our music. I think music gathers people to
sing and dance and make new friends.
-
Today I realized that the music we are singing
can touch people’s lives. It is technically not tangible, but when
you are singing it or even just listening to it, it is like you can
touch and feel it. I think when others hear our music, they feel
happy. I know that our music can touch people’s lives.
-
When I sing the song “Go down Moses” I feel
awesome because when I sing it with all my power it makes me feel
good. It also makes me feel good to see how other people feel when
they hear my music and I put all of my power into it.
-
I think today was excellent. We were singing
great! I hope the other boys are great. Singing made me relax.
-
When I am near Mary I feel joy. My favorite
place to sing is by the organs.
-
The thought of Mary brings the soothing
sensation of having a constant motherly force that constantly calms,
protects, provides, and loves.
-
I think when others hear our music they are
happy.
-
I am happy that I get to sing to the awesome
Mary and Jesus.
