The songs contained in the volumes of the Catholic Classics are the beloved Catholic songs that have stood test of time. Artists: various Format: Audio CD, one disc, 10 tracks Producer: Gia Publications UPC: 785147037521Track listing:1. How Great Thou Art 2. Blest Are They 3. Hail Mary: Gentle Woman 4. Eat This Bread 5. You Are Near 6. Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace (Prayer Of St. Francis) 7. On Eagle s Wing 8. Sing With All The Saints In Glory 9. We Remember 10. Bread Of Life: I Am The Bread Of Life

I am using this type of classic music to instruct my kids in the Catholic Tradition. We also discuss other hymns which have significant theological content such as "One Bread One Body." That one is not yet recorded. I hope the producer will fill in with some of these.

I have mentioned to my children that if their friends of other religions ask what being a Christian in the Catholic Tradition is all about to explain the words in "One Bread One Body."

Lovely and Uplifting!  Nov 04, 1999 By C. Adams "American Citizen"
These are some of the most beautiful songs on one cd ever. I get tears almost every time I listen to "You Are Near", and that's quite often! Wonderful, soaring voices-nothing jazzed up or "cute". Listen to this cd and find your spirit uplifted every time!

very ethereal - a solemn, not joyful, song of praise  Apr 26, 1999
(Yahweh, I Know) You Are Near is a beautiful song of praise based on Psalm 139. This version by a women's choral group, is very solemn, almost ethereal sounding with organ background. Would perhaps prefer to hear the song performed in an uptempo folk beat, with guitar accompaniment. The song certainly does lend itself lyrically to a more joyful expression of praise.

Beautiful Voices Singing Beautiful Songs  Sep 21, 2003 By Amy Zielke
This choir is awesome, such beautiful voices. I have been listening to it on my commute to/from work and it is unbelievably calming, something I desperately need to endure the commute and before/after work. I get "holy chills" listening to these pieces, especially "Blest Are They" and "I Am The Bread of Life."

Catholic Classics Vol I  Apr 30, 2008 By E. Burke
What an joyous and peaceful CD. The beautiful hymns contained on the disc just enhances my Catholic faith. Most hymns are played in my parish and its great to have them available to listen to at any time...especially when I need spiritual renewal and inner peace.
