In our final moments before the Christmas celebrations, Ministry Monday takes a brief moment to reflect on the "Spiritual resolutions" for the new year ahead.
This episode is meant to be a short moment's respite among the challenges in our world. We hope you find it short, sweet, and a quick release of the tension you didn’t even know that you were holding in your shoulders. (Yes, I can see you.)
Today’s episode comes from the November 2018 edition of NPM’s Pastoral Music magazine. The article “Spiritual Resolutions for a New Liturgical Year” was written by Margaret Felice. Now, full disclosure: keep in mind that this article was written at a time when masks were not required, “physical distancing” was not a phrase one heard each day, and public singing was more than welcomed in our sacred spaces. While I understand that all of these things our temporary in our society, it bears mentioning, as Margaret refers to singing during this article. We can’t endorse public singing with others just yet, but we hope the sentiment and core of Margaret’s message still sound true in your heart during these last few days of Advent.
