An Interview with Mary Zitnik
About Mary:
While Mary has always served the Church in music, it wasn’t until the
call of Pope John Paul II in his 1999 Letter to Artists that she began
to write original music for religious purposes. The Holy Father stated,
“…it is up to you, men and women who have given your lives to art, to
declare with all the wealth of your ingenuity that in Christ the world
is redeemed…”. In obedience to the Holy Father, she began to write
Catholic/Christian music, not knowing if, when or how she might use it.
She did know, however, that through her music, she felt called to put
forth traditional Catholic spirituality and doctrinal Truth in a
culturally current way, rather than to write strictly liturgical or
praise and worship music. Indeed, with the exception of the children’s
setting of the Nicene Creed, her songs are not intended for liturgical
use, but as an aid to personal faith formation.
