Foreword by Margaret Rizza
“Adapt yourselves no longer to the pattern of this present world, but let your minds be remade and your whole nature thus transformed.” (Romans 12:2 The New English Bible)
St Paul writing to the Romans bids us to venture beyond the pattern of this present world and to journey into a another realm which allows our minds to be remade and our whole nature transformed. Entering into this world can be a spiritual awakening which was experienced by many of the mystics.
For this Musical Journey with the Mystics, which Tim Ruffer (RSCM) suggested I composed as another collection, I have chosen thirteen texts and set them to music. These prayers, hymns and antiphons speak to me in different ways of the mystical world of which we are all a part.
