Episode Description from the Publisher

Currently, we are seeing a resurgence of traditional hymns and chant within the Church, and so today Fr. Elias joins us to talk about sacred music in the liturgy of the Mass.   Get Your Copy of the "Pew Missal" : https://ignatius.com/search.php?search_query=pew%20missal&section=product   Fr. Elias Guadalupe Ford is the editor of the Ignatius Press Pew Missal which is an annual subscription-based worship aid to give Catholic parishes access to traditional chants, melodies, and antiphons. The goal is to meet the average parishioner where they are at and then introduce them to a liturgical resource that is consistent with the directives of the Church. Paul Senz also has worked on the Pew Missal, and he joins Fr. Elias discuss how to encourage a reverent Mass in the Novus Ordo and introduce a reform of the reform following Vatican II. For musicians, music directors, and priests, this episode will be of particular interest as you direct the minds and hearts of the parish to the heart of the Church—Christ present in the Eucharist.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.
