  • S5E4: Healing Injuries & New Age Practices
    Oct 29 2024

    Send us a text

    If you've ever experienced a performance-impacting injury or illness, you'll know well the feeling of desperation to find healing. For many musicians, this becomes a gateway to new-age practices, which can be encouraged by teachers, coaches or even doctors as a means of seeking physical or mental healing.

    But how do we deal with this as Catholics? What's the problem with these practices, and are there feasible alternatives we can seek?

    We're diving into this contrversial topic on today's episode of the Little Sparks Podcast - and, spoiler alert, we're barely scratching the surface! What are your thoughts on this topic? We'd love to hear from you!

    What we're listening to:
    Tara: Cormacus Scripsit
    Cecilia: Autumn playlist

    After a deep-dive into the Cardinal virtues last week, we're back discussing the Theological virtues! Everyone knows these terms - Faith, Hope and Charity, but what do they mean, why are they important, and how do they apply to our lives as Catholic musicians?

    These virtues are gifts from God, and there's PLENTY of wisdom and insight to share about Faith, Hope and Charity!

    What we're listening to:
    Tara: Ave Generosa
    Cecilia: Cody Fry's The Sound of Silence

  • S5E2: The Virtues, Part I
    Oct 15 2024

    Send us a text

    When you think of the word virtue, what comes to mind? If your answer is somewhere along the lines of "dry," "old-fashioned," or "prudish," you need to listen to this episode! The virtues are actually good habits – which we all need to cultivate in order to have a well-ordered life!

    Today, we're talking about the Cardinal Virtues: four virtues the ancient world recognized and the Catholic Church see as necessary for the moral life. Prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance aren't just the names of Puritan-era girls. They're the backbone for a good life.

    We had a thoroughly great conversation on what these four virtues are and how they can show up in the life of a musician. We hope you enjoy!

    What we're listening to:
    Tara: The Sound of Music
    Cecilia: Rhapsody in Blue
