Today I had the gift of speaking with Kassie Manning. Kassie is the co-creator of Every Sacred Sunday, a Mass journal intended to help all Catholics absorb the readings and cultivate their own scripture study and prayer habit. It is a great opportunity to sit and reflect and say: how often do I take time for myself to sit, be still and listen to the Word of God, especially in the midst of me helping others to pray through music? How can I deepen my own prayer experience?

Today is week 3 of a 4-week mini-series, focusing on The Singing Priest. Last week we heard from Nicholas Will, a replay episode from January 2020 when he was the Director of Music for the North American Pontifical College in Rome. Today we hear from Fr. Michael Stumpf, Pastor of Mary, Queen of Peace Parish in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fr. Stumpf speaks to us today about the relationship between clergy and music minister: how can it be strengthened, and what can it do for the liturgy? Fr. Michael also discusses the daunting task of learning the Exsultet for Easter Vigil. This is a great episode to forward to your pastor, deacon or other clergy team member.
