Songs to the Spirit: Music for Pentecost
Episode description
This week Jeff and his guest, Jonathan Kregor, professor of music at the University of Cincinnati, dive into three familiar pieces of music of the Holy Spirit that we sing for Pentecost. They also discuss one of Jonathan's own compositions, Come, Holy Spirit.
Our Pentecost wine is Dancing Flame red blend from the D.O. Valle Central of Chile.
Michalene's recommendation is the New Fire 2021 Spotify Playlist to get you in the Pentecost mood.
Jeff's recommendation is to use the, "Come, Holy Spirit," prayer either on your own when you need a quick but powerful prayer, or saying it three times together to pray with a group.
Amber recommends coming to the 11:30 Mass this Sunday to take part in the RCIA Rite of Acceptance as we receive a new candidate beginning his journey towards the sacraments of initiation at the Easter Vigil.
Next week we are joined in-studio by Fr. Jim Sabak, director of worship for the Diocese of Raleigh, to talk about the forgotten liturgical feasts of June.
