about

This chant has been inspired by words spoken by Pope Francis. I wanted to lift up his message as a reminder for us all to be amazed and surprised by God’s active and intimate encounters with us. Here is what he is reported to have said: ROME - “Continuing his catechesis on liturgy, Pope Francis spoke about the importance of prayer, which calls faithful to be humble and never forget to be amazed before God. 'To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must allow himself to be amazed,' Pope Francis said during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. 'In our relationship with God, in prayer, do we allow ourselves to be amazed or do we think that prayer is talking to God like a parrot? Do we let ourselves be surprised? Because the encounter with the Lord is always a living encounter, not an encounter at a museum.'“

lyrics

Be amazed, just be amazed.
Let yourself be surprised
With each sacred moment.
