Why Do I Have to Sing at Mass? Here's Why? Jesus Did. | Noon Angelus

Jesus is a singer and sings in His preaching so to be able to project His voice.

When you sing the chants, it helps in prayers. it is an awesome prayer..

Music pierces in our hearts.

Singing sanctifies us. There are parts of the Holy Mass that priest can sing. Singing gets past the brain and we could feel the sacredness of the song.

We must embrace culture of people in songs. But just be drawn from Scriptures and Liturgical sources.

CCC paragraph 1156

1156 "The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as a combination of sacred music and words, it forms a necessary or integral part of solemn liturgy." The composition and singing of inspired psalms, often accompanied by musical instruments, were already closely linked to the liturgical celebrations of the Old Covenant. The Church continues and develops this tradition: "Address . . .. one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart." "He who sings prays twice."
