Ignatian Spirituality In Music

Songs for Daily Liturgy and Retreats by Ruth Scherer Leacock

"A site offering new music and supportive materials for liturgy and retreats. It is especially appropriate for anyone interested in the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Themes from his meditations are woven into the lyrics. If you have difficulty reading music... you can select a song and listen to it while viewing the musical score. "
