Quote Me S1: E2, Elena Bird, "Though She Be But Little, She Is Fierce"

Elena Bird, opera singer and director of sacred music at St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church in Stirling, New Jersey, is our first guest!

Elena explains how a line from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has influenced her as a singer. In the play, Helena says of Hermia, “And though she be but little, she is fierce.” In Elena’s life, it was her voice teacher saying the same of her in a time when she thought she had nothing left.

The discussion leads to a powerful conversation on the intersection of creative work, motherhood, and serving the church. What is true humility? How does it allow us to live our vocations to the glory of God?
