This song is listed as an "oldie" because it sounds like it came from the 60's. I wrote it a few months ago. It's awesome. Piano, bass, drums, and three-part harmony "oohs" and "ahhs" to accompany the main vocal part. |

I don't think any text embodies the ideals of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) better than St. Ignatius' "Take, Lord Receive". I wrote this song for Marquette University. Piano and a 15-person choir. |

I'm not sure if this is the right title for this song - let me know if something else strikes you. It's just a piano instrumental, with some subtle strings behind the melody. Very powerful with an extremely beautiful melody. |

I'm not sure why I called this what I did. Whenever I listen to this song, I just feel a sense of closure. Give it a new name if you'd like - it's just an instrumental one with me at the piano. |

When I was asked to play at the first annual "Concert For Life" in Gurnee, IL, I was so honored. I wrote this song for the concert. It talks about the life of someone with cancer - and how they're always so optimistic, despite their condition. That's something that's always overwhelmed me. When you listen to this song, I simply ask that you enjoy it and I hope that you are able to take something from it. |

Whenever I listen to this song, I'm taken back to my childhood days when we would go to Mass on Sundays. The music then was so perfect. This song is just me on the piano. |

Every liturgical musician has their Gloria. In fact, every liturgical musician seems to have their "Mass". The Mass that I wrote is called the Mass of Praise. This is the Gloria from that Mass. It sounds a little like David Haas' Gloria from the Mass of Light. Enjoy - this is a fun one. |

This song is faster than the others on Daily Bread. It starts out with my sister and I doing an accapela solo and then drums come in. A full choir and violin come in on the second verse. |

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever written. The voices that sing this song blend so well with the flute and piano that it gives me goosebumps. Please enjoy this song as much as I do. |

This song is very personal to me. I wrote it after hearing a very good friend of mine, and priest, deliver a homily one afternoon. He said over and over in his homily the phrase that is echoed in the refrain of this song. This song is about finding comfort in God and in knowing that he is with us always. Thank you, Father Ray, for inspiring the words to this song. I hope you all find this song as meaningful as I do. |

The basis of this song is the 91st psalm. The words from that psalm are so comforting and so inspiring, that I had to put them to music. The refrain itself sums up the Christian purpose. My mother sings with me on this song. |

As human beings and believers in Christ, we constantly fall short of living the life of a perfect Christian. This song is a prayer to God that he might help us to live how He wants us to live... |

The recording I did for this song is a little fast - but maybe that's how it should be. It seems that the liturgical music industry could use a few "basic" fast songs - nothing too complicated. The lyrics may be hard to sing along to, so be sure to check out the lyrics page. The words are what make this song so great. |

This song is a combination of all of the songs on the album "Daily Bread". It's the title song for that reason. No words on this one - just piano. |

This song is very short - but very prayerful. It's my rendition of the Christian prayer "Lord, have mercy..." My sisters (Amy, Beth, Kim) and my mom (Patrice) sing with me on this one. Enjoy! |

This song is the perfect representation of a "good-bye". The same melody is repeated over and over while being dragged out as long as possible. It is dedicated to anyone that's ever had to say good-bye to someone they love |

This song is like none I've ever written. And I will never write a song like it again. I just sat down at my piano and wrote it note by note on paper...something I don't do with my other songs. So enjoy it's Irish feel... |

This song was originally going to carry the title of "Pure Inspirations", but I think I made a good move in calling what I did. Play this song, close your eyes, and let the whispers bring back memories from the past. |

Can't explain this one. I just wanted one more track on my first album and sat down at the piano and this came out. I don't think I could play it again if I tried...it was an "in the moment" thing. |

Just piano. I'm not sure if it's techinically a "Preulde", but it's a more classical piece. I'm sure you will all enjoy it, Especially if you liked the first movement. |

This song is a re-mix of "Saga". It contains the same melody with other sounds in the background. It also has a different ending.
