I don't know about you, but I've always had a very strong connection with music. It's helped me get through good and bad days, and it was precisely in the most difficult moments that I discovered a powerful refuge: catholic music.
One day, after a week of stress at work, family problems, and a feeling that everything was out of place, I sat on my porch, put on my headphones, and opened an app that a friend had recommended to me. The first song that played was “O Céu se Abre” by Comunidade Shalom.
I didn't even have time to finish the first verse and my eyes were already filled with tears. There, in that moment, I realized how something as simple as a song of praise could bring a peace that I hadn't felt in a long time.
And that's how my journey in search of the best apps to listen to catholic music. Today, I want to share with you this experience that transformed the way I live my faith in my daily life.
Why did listening to Catholic music change my life?
Before I talk about the apps, I need to tell you what changed in my life with this choice. I have always been Catholic, but I confess that the routine had left me a bit “lukewarm”, you know?
Over time, I realized that including catholic songs in my daily life has helped me keep my mind connected to God. Whether I'm in traffic, washing dishes or walking in the park, I now carry with me messages that edify me.
Plus, with so many different styles — from Catholic pop to Gregorian chant — music has gone from being just a form of entertainment to becoming spiritual nourishment. And best of all, with the right apps, it’s easy to have all of this in your pocket.
