  Abstract:  Although with a degree of generality, this study aims to compare and identify elements of similarity between two contexts that capitalize the curative potential of the music that is Music Therapy and the unfolding of the Christian ritual. Starting by defining the Music Therapy and by explaining the terms that it implies, the study also presents the view that the Patristic gives to music’s use in the Christian rite’s unfolding as well as a review of the principal spiritual illnesses as viewed by the Holy Fathers. In our opinion, the two contexts are comparable so that one can speak about the existence of the music therapy elements within the Christian rite as well as the existence of the relationship of a therapeutic type in both the cases.
