St. Cecilia's Feast Day: How Sacred Music Inspires Modern Religious Orders | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Today is the feast of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians. The early Christian martyr is still inspiring people. This includes a religious order dedicated to her in Nashville, Tennessee. A Dominican Sister of Nashville, Sr. Rosemary Esseff, joins to share how sacred music draws us closer to God and protects us from the chaos of the outside world. Sr. Rosemary discusses why she joined this particular order and what St. Cecilia means to her. She reminds us who St. Cecilia was and why she is so closely linked to music. Sr. Rosemary tells us about her upcoming musical projects and whether she is doing anything for the Jubilee year. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
