Today on the podcast, we're discussing the purpose of liturgical music, and why understanding the purpose of liturgical music matters. We chatted about how liturgical music also includes music for the Liturgy of the Hours, took a detour into Eucharistic miracles, and touched on the difference between sacred music and liturgical music. 

This is a scratch-the-surface episode on liturgical music, so here's what this episode isn't:

• An authoritative guide on liturgical music
• A deep dive into Church documents on liturgical music
• Us telling you exactly what music should be played at Mass

What this episode is:

• A discussion on how the function of liturgical music is to reflect what's happening in the Mass
• A chat about how contributing our musical gifts to the liturgy is a great honor and privilege, but also a great responsibility
• An opportunity for us to talk about Eucharistic miracles, aka one of our favorite topics *ever*
