"There are many prophetic words used to describe the message and meaning of Jesus Christ in the book of Isaiah. Today’s reading is a great example.

Even if we don’t have musical ability or a great singing voice ourselves, we are still able to learn ideas and memorize more easily with the aid of mus...
