| The Music for the Lord's Prayer is changing (slightly). Listen to the new version, brought to us by composer Steve Warner |
The Oxford-American Dictionary defines "Doxology" as "a liturgical formula of praise to God." The end of The Lord's Prayer that we recite and sing at Mass ends with the Doxology, "For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. From now until the end of time." With the New Roman Missal, that's changing slightly. Want to here the new words to Steve Warner's version? Follow the link, click on Mass for Our Lady, and The Lord's Prayer...we'll be transitioning at Mass! Listen now >
