Elevating Jesus at Holy Mass is THE Son-Rise. Ad orientam⁣ is so theologically sound! And it is spiritually helpful for the priest offering and the faithful assisting. Flowing from Holy Mass is Adoration, basking in the rays of the Son.


About this recording: In Italy in 2013, just before leaving the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, I had the privilege of singing and recording Franck's "Panis Angelicus" with Ensemble Mariposas and the Basilica Choir of San Nicola of Tolentino. This track is found on my album "Excitabo Auroram".

Verses based on Psalm 90(91). May the Lord be your Refuge and may you praise Him with your life no matter where your little boat may lead you.

An R & B song inspired by Our Lord's words: "⁣I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?" (Lk 12:49).


Here are 2 ⁣amazing quotes from St. Josemaria Escrivà: "Through the world still echoes that divine cry: 'I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!' (Lk 12:49). And you see: it has nearly all died out... Will you not help to spread the blaze?" (The Way, 801)

"Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love. With your apostolic life, wipe out the trail of filth and slime left by the corrupt sowers of hatred. And set aflame all the ways of the earth with the fire of Christ that you bear in your heart." (The Way, 1)

Christ is King, and like King Solomon, His Mother is Queen over His entire empire. Mary's spiritual motherhood and queenship depend upon and flow from the absolute primacy of Christ and this song delightfully joins the angelic voices in calling upon her as Queen and Mother that she might lead us to Christ who is the way, the truth and the life.

⁣I decided to create a little video for the first song I ever wrote and recorded as a Franciscan friar. This is a live recording at Bl. John Duns Scotus Hall in New Bedford, MA, in 1998 and can be found on my album "Memorare". The verses are based on Psalm 83 (84). Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us and immerse us in the life of the Most Holy Trinity!

⁣⁣⁣This country/folk song is inspired by the story of St. Domnina who as a girl having learned to read would weep over every page of the Bible as she read of God's love and mercy. She would even sleep with her Bible when she went to bed at night. God's Word is so powerful and continues to transform lives! As my algebra teacher used to say to us about "story problems" - read it, re-read it, and re-re-read it (because most people get them wrong because they didn't understand the problem). May this song inspire you to take up that story of God's love for you, from the first moment of creation through the pinnacle of salvation in Jesus Christ to the Beatific Vision of Heaven.

Perhaps the most beautiful Gregorian chant hymn of Lent, Vexilla Regis is sung during Passiontide and Holy Week and also on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. I had the privilege of singing and recording this hymn with the schola from the Seminary of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate in Italy just weeks before the Vatican closed their thriving Seminary in 2013. This chant, and several others, can be found on my album Excitabo Auroram: ⁣https://fathermaxmusic.com/alb....um/1455516/excitabo-

⁣King David in Psalm 88 tells us that he will sing forever of the Lord's mercy. He has been so merciful to me, and now it is my joy to sing of His mercy and respond to it in my daily life with conversion of heart and to help others know how merciful He is to the repentant sinner.⁣

A lighthearted song with a profound message: Sin enslaves us. It separates us from God. Only Jesus our Savior can set us free by forgiving us and granting us His love and grace. As St. Paul points out, now is the acceptable time, the time of my salvation - there may not be a tomorrow. Hence the call to penance and to proclaim Jesus is Lord (and not with empty words, but with conversion of heart).

Truth be told, I wrote this song in the wake of the Theodore McCarrick scandal. Indeed what does it profit a man to gain the whole world losing his soul in the process? Jesus, have mercy on us! Mother Mary, guide and protect us! St. Joseph, keep us strong in our Catholic Faith!

Pope St. Pius X: ⁣"To conclude this whole question of faith and its various branches, we have still to consider, Venerable Brethren, what the Modernists have to say about the development of the one and the other. First of all they lay down the general principle that in a living religion everything is subject to change, and must in fact be changed. In this way they pass to what is practically their principal doctrine, namely, evolution. To the laws of evolution everything is subject under penalty of death - dogma, Church, worship, the Books we revere as sacred, even faith itself." ⁣(Pascendi Dominici Gregis)

Lyrics...
The beauty of creation sings,
That God created everything.
Intelligence was behind the design;
Each thing created, according to its kind.

CHORUS
The negation of creation
Through the illusion of evolution,
Must stop… In the Name of God.
Must stop… In the Name of God.

Under the guise of empirical science,
Darwin hides anti-Christian bias.
But in the beginning, when God spoke,
Out of nothing all things He awoke.

CHORUS

“Molecules, then monkeys to man,”
The theory boasts against God’s plan.
But we are not a herd of cattle,
Children of God we are called to battle.

CHORUS

The wonder of creation conceals,
What God in Christ clearly reveals,
That we are His people, immortal each soul,
And only in Him can we reach our goal.

CHORUS

The beauty of creation sings,
That God created everything…
