“Whoever Loses Life Will Find It” is a reflective Communion hymn inspired by Matthew 10:37–42, where Jesus calls His followers to a deeper love and a life of self-giving.
The Gospel reminds us that discipleship is not about comfort or holding tightly to what we think we possess. Instead, Christ invites us to surrender our fears, our pride, and even the dreams we cling to—trusting that in losing our lives for His sake, we discover the freedom of grace.
Through simple acts of mercy—a cup of water given, a kindness offered in love—God’s kingdom quietly takes root in the world. In the Eucharist, we encounter the One who gave everything for us, and who teaches us the joy of giving ourselves in return.
This hymn reflects on that paradox of faith: that true life is found not in grasping, but in letting go and walking in the light of Christ.
As a music director/organist, I am always looking for additional sources for new, old, and forgotten hymns and other music. This resource would also be an excellent way to broaden my view of hymnody through history, hymnals, composers, sources, etc. I look forward to new discoveries!

As a young Catholic who adores hymns, I would like to become more aware of those I haven’t heard before. I’m also looking for a space to help identify songs I’d heard once but lost to my memory

I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
I'm a music director at a Cathedral and a composer. I would love to hear other composers, music, ideas, etc. Additionally, I'd like to share my own music.
