From Fr. Jon Kirby On Eagle’s Wings
(Adapted from an article by Colleen Dulle in America, December 28, 2017)
While Catholics can argue cease-lessly over a number of issues, we hold a few unshakable truths in com-mon: Jesus is present in the Eucha-rist, Mary was conceived without sin and, when “On Eagle’s Wings” plays, we cry. In the 38 years since its pub-lication, “On Eagle’s Wings” has achieved global popularity, been translated into a variety of languages and become a Christian funeral clas-sic (if not a staple). But the song’s true staying power is rooted in our shared but individual experience of hearing it in moments of grief.
The composer, Father Jan Michael Joncas, wrote the song after he and a friend, Doug Hall, returned from a meal to learn that Hall’s father had died of a heart attack. Joncas said, “I knew this was a hard, hard experi-ence in anybody’s life, [and I] just wanted to create something that would be both prayerful and then comforting.” In the days preceding Hall’s father’s wake, Joncas returned to his parents’ house in Minnesota and composed the song on his gui-tar, sketching out a melody line and accompanying chords. The now-famous hymn debuted at the wake. Father Joncas kept the song under wraps for some time after that. Even-tually he submitted it to the St. Louis Jesuits’ publisher, North American Liturgy Resources, who then offered Joncas an album deal.
“I think they had already tagged ‘On Eagle’s Wings’ as the [song] that was going to have the most legs,” said Joncas. He didn’t pay much at-tention to the hymn after that, but he
became aware that the song was gaining popularity outside Catholic circles when his publisher forwarded him requests from other denomina-tions to reproduce the song. Then, following the 1995 bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Cathy Keating, the governor’s wife, requested that “On Eagle’s Wings” be played at a memorial for those killed. Joncas recalled thinking, “Wow, this was way beyond even denominational stuff. This is becom-ing part of the culture.”
Two years later, Michael Crawford, who originated the role of “The Phan-tom of the Opera” on Broadway, sang “On Eagle’s Wings” on national television, surprising Joncas again with how far his song had reached. But the crowning moment came when Joncas tuned into a broadcast of the funeral of one of his heroes: the famed operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti. “Suddenly the soprano [stood] up from the parish choir and sang ‘Sulle Braccia dell’Aquila,’—‘On the Arms of the Eagle.’ It was now in Italian.” He recalls thinking to him-self: “They’re singing ‘Eagle’s Wings’ at Pavarotti’s funeral. Wow.”
The whole experience was rather surreal for Father Joncas, who thinks of “On Eagle’s Wings” as a callow effort. He draws a parallel between it and Ravel’s “Boléro:” it’s not his best work, but he doesn’t mind it being his most popular composition. He has been overwhelmed by the wide-ranging positive reception of the hymn, especially in unexpected plac-es: The song has become a sort of signature selection at the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel, as well as in Native American communi-ties where the eagle holds an im-portant place in the spiritualities of
several tribes. “The number of times people have come up and talked about the song touching them at re-ally tough moments—I am pretty much just blown away by the experi-ence that God can still use that song 35 years, 40 years after its creation and still have it impact people’s lives,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s me. I really think it’s the fact that it’s Scripture, that the melody then al-lows this incredibly important scrip-tural text to hit the heart in a way that it wouldn’t, maybe, if you were just reading it.”
Scripture is at the center of Father Joncas’s creative process, even as his musical style ranges widely, from his popular folk-inspired “I Have Loved You” (1977) to a breathtaking “Salve Regina” canon for double choir (2008). He cites among his mu-sical influences the Gregorian chant and polyphony he heard as an altar server, his classical background—his mother was a lyric soprano and he was trained in 20th-century piano technique—and the folk music reviv-al of his young adult years. “You know, one of my heroes was Joni Mitchell. She was once quoted as saying…[that] it’s really hard being a musician or composer because, like, nobody ever said to Van Gogh, ‘Paint a “Starry Night” again, man!’” Father Joncas laughed, “And I don’t want to write ‘Eagle’s Wings’ again.”

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful and tepid priests; for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for your tempted priests; for your lonely and desolate priests; for your young priests;
for your dying priests; for the souls of your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recom-mend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me, the priests who absolved me from my sins, the priests at whose Masses I assist-ed and who gave me Your body and blood in
Communion, the priests to whom I am indebted any other way especially (name….)
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.
-- St. Therese of Lisieux
