Today we offer a short reflection from Kathleen M. Basi on the nuances of praying while "working" in pastoral music. Similar to the topic we discussed with Every Sacred Sunday, pastoral musicians experience the liturgy in a different way than many others. Kathleen offers great tips and suggestions in this Key Change presentation, taken from NPM's 2021 National Convention.

The celebrations of All Saints and All Souls Day bring about conversations of holiness: holiness in those we believe to be saints in the faith, as well as the holiness we find among ourselves each day. How can we better recognize this holiness in others, and in ourselves? I called Brother Louis Canter from the Diocese of Lakeland, Florida to talk about this exact topic.
