A Concert of Hope

In his document titled Spes Non Confundit, the late Pope Francis describes Hope as:

“An active, daily gift that opens new horizons and sees beyond present pain.  Rather than passive wishing or naïve optimism, he emphasizes that true hope is grounded in God’s promises and calls people to build a better future together. Tomorrow’s hope flowers amid today’s pain.”

It is in this light that we offer A Concert of Hope – Eternal Light: A Requiem by Howard Goodall. 

Goodall describes his piece as a modern Requiem that acknowledges the unbearable loss of a loved one not easily comforted with platitudes about the joy of the afterlife. This is a Requiem for the living, intended to provide solace for the grieving by addressing their suffering and endurance as God has promised for a better future together.

Join us for an evening of beautiful sacred music presented by Coro Gloria Dei and the Sacred Music Institute of the Southwest. No tickets required. This is a free will concert at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Sugarland. 705 St Theresa Blvd, Sugar Land, TX 77498
