Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,

That my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit,

That my work, too, may be holy.

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,

That I love but what is holy.

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,

To defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,

That I always may be holy.

Catholic liturgical music wasn’t always like this — so what changed? In this episode of The Deep, Erika traces how Gregorian chant and polyphony gave way to the folk-inspired hymns that have dominated Mass for decades. From Vatican II and the rise of contemporary liturgical publishers to the theology embedded in the songs themselves, she explores how the music Catholics sing shapes what they believe — and whether a new generation can recover the Church’s sacred musical tradition.
