WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Born for This is now something of a Lenten tradition for those involved in the ministry of cjm music. Each year the team journey deeper into this moving portrayal of Christ's Passion and are somehow able to deliver even more powerful performances than the year before.

Apart from that, groups across the UK and beyond have got their hands on Born for this and made it their own.

Below are some of the wonderful comments we've received from participants and audiences alike over the years...

Amazing, brilliant, tear-jerking, very moving, spine-tingling - some of the very positive comments received from family & friends after the recent performances of BFT in Leeds & Birmingham.

Performing in Leeds was extra-special for me for 2 reasons: being a Leeds girl through & through and having my Mum in the audience to witness the acting, hear the beautiful music and the singing from the chorus, yourselves along with all those Yorkshire children's voices. A wonderful experience to share.

Just back from the Brentwood performance of Born for This and, once again, felt so privileged to be a part of it. We really all enjoyed taking part and hope that you also felt it was a success!

Many thanks to everyone for all your help and support in all the prep leading up to the events and for making our girls feel welcomed and involved. They really got a lot out of it. May there be many more blessings for you in the future in all you do.

Just a massive thank you for the whole experience that was the 'Born for This' cathedral tour 2007. I'm so glad I took part, I was made to feel so welcome by everybody and I now feel like part of the team.

At my own church when running through the passion story the BFT narrations and songs run through my head helping the meaning and message stand out and become a lot more powerful. Thank you! God Bless!

"Born for This" brought Mary to me this Lent. I had already heard her whisper in her letter to Elizabeth, "And Joe, well you know..."

Mary, the Mother of God, sings the beautiful Born for This. But Mary the mother sings the Last Lullaby. I can't listen without crying - for every mother who lost her child, for the women in Ethiopia, the Tsunami women, whose babies were ripped from their arms, for my Grandmother, who kept the baby shoe all her life.. Suddenly it all made sense. I understood.

...

When I finally got home, my husband was waiting for me in the hall. He hugged me and said, "Now I get it."..... (For the last 20 years he has experienced a wedding, 3 christenings, 3 First Communions, 2 Confirmations (nearly), endless Children's Liturgies, school Masses etc. etc. But finally, after one evening in Plymouth cathedral with Mike, Jo and their angels......) " The whole Catholic thing - I get it."

Thank you.
