Expressions of call (Adam and Eve), conversion (Paul), faithful witness (Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene), call betrayed (Judas), and faith sustained through doubt (Mother Teresa) are explored through dialogue with God and expressed in solo and choir moments that reveal the universality of their stories. The assembly joins with the choirs to sing pieces that connect the character’s story to our story. Sponsored by GIA Publications. |
