Revised Mass Setting: Mass for Teresa of Calcutta

Bob gives us the inside story to Mass for Teresa of Calcutta. How does this setting engage parishioners at Mass?
Watching Catholic congregations at Sunday Mass, I have experienced many having 50% or 60% of the people giving up singing and just watching because they could not relate to the musical Mass settings. So my approach to this Mass setting was to make the melody approachable, attractive, and therefore, engaging.

What was your inspiration for Mass for Teresa of Calcutta?
The inspiration for this Mass came from my 70 meetings with Mother Teresa and my many, many, many meetings with her Sisters. I wanted a melody that all of those who Mother Teresa reached out to—the poor: physically, emotionally, and spiritually—could relate to and which would bring them all to Christ at his Eucharistic Liturgy. « Hide
