Part of the Introductory Rites, the Kyrie puts the congregation into proper disposition to listen to God’s word and to celebrate the Eucharist worthily.

Co-written with Grae McCullough as well as bandmates Blake Powell and Christian Gaudet, this new Catholic Mass setting is at once both singable and truly beautiful. In addition to Josh Blakesley and his band, the choir singing in this video includes other Catholic singers and Catholic musicians Sarah Kroger, Dave Moore, Lauren Moore, Andrea Thomas, Adam Ubowski, Lori Ubowski, James Opdenhoff, Kristyn Opdenhoff, John Finch, Laurie Lopez and Kristin Fuselier.
Developed as an easy-to-sing Mass setting for contemporary liturgy, Mass of Restoration will appeal to anyone who enjoys music with a more modern feel, especially teens and young adults. Its simplicity also lends itself well to Life Teen groups, summer camps and other youth and young adult retreats.
With accompaniment parts for guitar and keyboard, the setting can be adapted to fit any music style, even for churches that use a simple guitar to accompany music at Catholic Mass. The MP3 album includes recordings of the Lenten Gospel Acclamations—the most complete set of any contemporary setting.
