Music to touch your spirit, from traditional hymns with a fresh twist to contemporary Christian music with a warm acoustic sound

Pie Jesu — composed by Ricky Manalo, CSP
Performed by Spiritu

A tender prayer for mercy and rest, “Pie Jesu” (“Merciful Jesus”) draws from the Requiem liturgy.

Dona eis aetérnam réquiem et lux perpétua lúceat eis.
Grant them eternal rest and let perpetual light shine upon them.


“Shelter Me: A Prayer-Song in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic”
by Michael Joncas

Michael Joncas, the St. Paul priest, theologian and prolific composer of liturgical music including “On Eagle’s Wings,” wrote and published this new song in spring 2020 in response to the global shared experience of COVID-19. Members of Spiritu recorded it from the shelter of our homes.

In this dark and difficult time, we wish you the shelter of God’s peace.
