“Your best life is when it’s NOT ABOUT YOU” the best advice when it comes to being a worship leader/music minister. If only all of the choirs in a parish could hear that … ❤

What a wonderful way to share God‘s gifts, through music and prayer. I’m very grateful that Matt mentioned if we are not able to physically attend God is beyond physical presence so wherever we are His love is fully present. What a blessing to be His children. Thank you for this podcast. Prayers for safe travels for everyone who will be traveling there.

“Worship leader” -Such a tricky & easily misunderstood expression. The highest form of worship is the celebration of the Sacrifice of the Mass, which is led by a priest in persona Christi. The focus of the Eucharistic Revival is the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist and we praise Him and give Him honor through song and prayer. While some Christians think that singing songs is “praise and worship,” as Beale says on Catholic Exchange, “To our secularized society, worship may seem like such a chore. We prefer to be spectators who are entertained. Or information buckets waited to be filled with facts. Or, all too often, in certain contexts, worship can become a therapeutic exercise in self-expression. Scripture and tradition show us that worship is so much more than this. It is a sacrificial act that establishes communion with God. It is a participation in His mystery and a contemplation of His beauty that utterly transform us.”

Does She, or He for that matter, understand the Catholic definition of Worship? To mis-identify Adoration as Worship in such an ignorant and...protestant...way...on EWTN...is worrying, and very sad. True worship requires sacrifice. Which is why it requires a Catholic Priest, standing In Persona Christi.

Came on here to say this exact thing! Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@tine1312]

No it doesn't! It only needs a consecrated host shown in a monstrance. In larger German churches there a special quite chappells offside the tourists for silent personal adoration. (like during perpetual adoration) Every catholic person advised by a priest is allowed to show the consecrated host in a monstrance. These aeat least the option given by the Vatican. Now it depends on each national bishop conference.

[@tine1312]

But I totally agree with you when in comes to her questions and the understanding of adoration....maybe she had a bad day or was nervous, but in my opinion she looks bored of Matt's answers.....
