Hola y bienvenidos al “Ministry Monday”. I’m your host, Amanda Bruce.
This month we’re celebrating the shortest month of the year- even with Leap Year- by having shorter, bite-sized episodes focusing on different topics. How are you liking the episodes this month so far? Do you like the shorter durations? What topics have you found most interesting? Email us anytime at ministrymonday@npm.org.
This week we sat down with theologian and liturgical composer Tony Alonso to discuss his new project, “Caminemos con Jesús”. “Caminemos con Jesús” is a collection of liturgical music that honors the Cuban musical heritage not often seen in its own right, liturgically, in the United States. In this episode you’ll learn the inspiration behind “Caminemos con Jesús”, as well as the people, effort and heart from so many to make this project authentic, vibrant and full of the Spirit.
SHOW NOTES
“The music of my father’s Cuban homeland has been the language of my heart for as long as I can remember. These songs infuse that rich tradition with the unique sabor of my own experience as a Cuban-American in a distinctly liturgical shape that I hope will inspire others in their daily camino con Jesús.” –Tony Alonso
“La música de la tierra cubana de mi padre ha sido el lenguaje de mi corazón desde que yo tengo memoria. Estas canciones infunden esa rica tradición del sabor único de mi propia experiencia como cubanoamericano con una forma claramente litúrgica. Es mi deseo que esta obra inspire a los demás en su propio camino diario con Jesús”.
