Praying with Music

In 2011, Catholic singer-songwriter Matt Maher released this anthemic Easter Song, Christ is Risen. Revealing the source of inspiration for the song as the remarkable sermon by St John Chrysostom, quoted in the introduction to this edition of The Daily Soul, Maher points out that Jesus used death to destroy death. He goes on, “even though we still struggle and we are still imperfect people, we can still celebrate the victory that God has granted us through his Son.”
