THE CHURCH: DIVIDED TONGUES LIKE FIRE Brenda Noriega
Brenda challenged pastoral musicians to be authentic and welcoming in their ministry, allowing space for sacred silence and incorporating bicultural and bilingual music in their parish repertoire.
“To be authentic, let us ask: ‘¿Cómo está tu corazón? How is your heart doing?’”
“We are invited every Sunday to examine our hearts and to become one with Christ, with the community, and with all of creation.”
“Many people feel like spectators at Mass when they don’t understand the music . . . Bicultural music says ‘You are worth it. You are welcome. You are part of this community.’ It reminds us that we are part of the universal Church.”
"[Brenda's Plenum was] such a thought-provoking address. One I needed to hear."
LIVING YOUR DISCIPLESHIP: OUR CALLING TO PROPHETIC, PASTORAL MINISTRY
Laura Fanucci
Laura explored seven ways that Christ calls each of us to live our discipleship: as follower, worshiper, witness, neighbor, forgiver, prophet, and steward.
“The call to follow Christ is a call to constant conversion, to keep deepening our discipleship over time.”
“We are meant to work for change, to bring the truth of our faith to create change in the world.”
“My discipleship will look very different from yours, but if we are all orienting ourselves toward God, then we’re facing in the same direction—right in the midst of us, where Christ promised to be present wherever we gather.”
"Laura was a delightful speaker—easy to listen to and with substantive points everyone could use."
