Prayer to Saint Cecilia

I love to sing, and so it is really nice to know that there are Roman Catholic Saints for singers and musician to turn to for prayers, requests and intercession such as Saint Cecilia. The glorious St. Cecilia is known all over the Catholic world as the Patron saint of Catholic music. This famous Catholic Saint’s feast day is on November 22.

Here is a short prayer to Saint Cecilia:

O glorious and blessed saint, who preferred to die rather than deny the King, we request from you your intercession on our behalf. We all lift up our very hearts in songs to give Him the honor He deserves. As we sing, we know that to do this is like doubly praying to the Lord.

Our beloved Saint Cecilia, there is one thing that we are aware of you, and this is the fact that you have become a martyr as you remained true to God.

You ask that you inspire Christian and Catholic songwriters and musicians to make happy the hearts of everyone; this is done by hearing the Lord’s gift and blessing of music played in the air. This will remind people that there is a Supreme Musician all us, everything, including our music. Amen.
Lord, please hear our prayers. Through Saint Cecilia’s intercession, we pray that you will grant all our requests and prayers. Amen.
