Dance with the Light

In the midst of the current pandemic, marked by so much suffering, the Lord gave our East Asian Delegation a wonderful surprise: their guitar album Dance with the Light, produced by the FSPs of Taiwan, won the 31st Golden Melody Awards (GMA) for best religious music album. (The GMA is the equivalent of the Grammy Awards in the Chinese-speaking world.)

Through this musical production, our sisters want to offer people a fresh interpretation of traditional Catholic music suited to the new generation of young people, both Catholics and non-Catholics, in this part of the world. The album, composed of a variety of hymns, is outstanding in quality due to the masterful touch of Paraguayan guitar master Roberto Zayas, whose heartfelt playing has resulted in music that “calms the heart and makes the spirit dance,” as the presentation of the album says.

From Taiwan, our sisters write: “We hope that this music will help listeners feel the joy of the Lord’s presence in their lives. We thank and praise God for the grace of our apostolate and the gift of music, which allows us to extend the Christian message to many more people by means of the invitation: ‘Life is a dance and the God who loves us is saying, ‘Come, dance with me!’”
