Quarantine is a time for creativity. It's a time to move forward and not lose hope. That's the message of Catholic singer, Athenas.
The Argentine singer joins the call of various Catholic artists to not be afraid, and to cultivate the faith in this difficult moment humanity is facing.
ATHENAS
Singer
“From the start, my husband and I decided to live with faith. We chose to live this moment as an opportunity to do a bunch of things that maybe we didn't have time to do before. We also are finishing musical and other kinds of projects we'd put on hold. We want to live this time with a spirit of faith and trust in the Lord, knowing that also in these difficult times, He gives us graces and gifts.”
In addition, during this period of isolation, she has participated in various initiatives, including concerts in collaboration with many other Catholic artists. Their goal is to bring hope and smiles to people through their phone screens or computers.

Singer
“Although we give concerts, what we most look for is to make them moments of prayer. So we strive to live those moments intentionally, praying to the Lord. The Spirit makes sure we feel someone is with us.”
Her songs are a call to prayer, which is why she has a proposal.

Singer
“My proposal is that we live this as an opportunity. I know there are many people who have to live this moment closer to the cross, but the Lord, on the cross, is victorious. He holds the last word, since He rose from the dead.”
This is even more proof that this seemingly dark time can help bring out the light in each one of us.
