“Ocean” is the lead single off Fr. Pontifex’s body of work The Invincibles. “Safer in your waters than these shores is what you promise,” one of the lines from the piece encapsulates the intended takeaway by the listener. God may call us to the deep waters, to the unknown, and to a place that is not comfortable, but with that he promises his presence and grace. He walks with us and directs our steps.

“For the Beauty of the Earth” is a Christian hymn by Folliott S. Pierpoint (1835-1917), performed in one take by artist Pat D’Angelo. Pierpoint was 29 at the time he wrote this hymn; he was mesmerized by the beauty of the countryside that surrounded him. It first appeared in 1864 in a book of Eucharistic Hymns and Poems entitled Lyra Eucharistica, Hymns and Verses on The Holy Communion, Ancient and Modern, with other Poems.

Fr. Pontifex – Invasion of the Light
Over a year in the works, our team is proud to present “Invasion of the Light”, a music video featuring Fr. Pontifex. The presence of the Eucharist within the video emphasizes the strong contrast between authentic beauty from Jesus and the desolation of modern culture. The light found in the wasteland shows there is hope, even in the most grim of area or circumstances. “Invasion of the Light” is the first single from Fr. Pontifex’s album, Letters from the Wasteland.
