Crown of Thorns, performed by Danielle Rose, tells the story of a flower who dreamed to be the King’s most precious rose; a rose who was made into a crown, forced by soldiers violently onto the head of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But, while the flower is associated with cruelty, it is also portrayed as the most pure love of our Lord. The choral arrangement was done in conjunction with the Notre Dame Folk Choir.

This is the music video of the new choral arrangement of her song “”Crown of Thorns”” sung with the Notre Dame Folk Choir.

This is a music video made for 9G Films, for the wonderful song “I Am The Bread” by Catholic singer-songwriter Trish Short. It represents the beauty of the liturgy, particularly on the celebration of the beauty that Trish sees in the Eucharist which heart and soul of the song.

This video also shows the challenges faced by the church, like the lack of belief of people which leads a lot of people to leave the church. While on the other hand, also serves as an invitation for the people who lacked belief in the true presence to offer themselves back to the life of the Lord. An invitation to a beautiful transition from a cold, sad and disconnected life to a beautiful and warm one.

The emcee/DJ hip-hop duo Mars Ill released the song “Love’s Not” as an artistic way to define Love by ironically and elaborately explaining what love isn’t. Manchild uses the art of songwriting to communicate his heart, his mind and, most importantly, his faith. By recognizing the world’s problems, he is able to create music that speaks directly to the issues affecting people on a daily basis.

This original song by artist Taylor Tripodi speaks to anyone who feels trapped in darkness. God did not create you for pain and, even in the midst of darkness, He calls you. This piece speaks to his love and tenderness, and gives us all courage to step out of the dark into our true home with the Lord.

“Struggler” is a single off the album Poco a Poco by Brother Isaiah of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. The video takes its viewers on a cinematic poetic personification of “struggling” through the use of a donkey, some breakdancers, and of course the musicians themselves. Filmed and produced by Spirit Juice Studios and the Friars themselves, we hope this video will remind you that your struggles are not in vain, because Christ is our hope and after all, struggling is not always a bad thing!
