Suggestions for a soundtrack to Lenten reflections - National Catholic Reporter

I am the only person I know who schleps a guitar to her book club.

Several years ago, when our Oakland, Calif., group dove into Sacred Heart Missionary Fr. Diarmuid O’Murchu’s 2002 book Evolutionary FaithRediscovering God in Our Great Story, we interspersed music and chanting with our conversing. The tunes came from Neil Douglas-Klotz’s "Prayers of the Cosmos" CD. These beautiful chants are renderings of the Lord’s Prayer and the Eight Beatitudes from the Aramaic -- Jesus’ native language.
