| | Description | Cross the gap between contemporary and traditional prayer music with Catholic songwriter Trish Short’s new version of The "Chaplet of The Divine Mercy in Song." This sung version of the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy, shown on EWTN Network, was filmed live at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where the Chaplet is recited everday during the three o’clock hour (recalling the time of Christ’s death on the cross). Faithful to the authentic prayer found in the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, the Chaplet calls upon the merits of Jesus’ Passion to bring mercy on the whole world. This new recording will reach people of all backgrounds with the message of mankind’s need for God’s mercy. The gentle melody, blending piano, guitar, and percussion with lead and background vocals, will stay in your heart long after you’ve listened. Also features: "I am a voice crying for Mercy."The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts is the spiritual home of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception who, in addition to being promoters of the authentic Divine Mercy Message since 1941, provide spiritual care for the thousands of people. Each year on Mercy Sunday, more than 16,000 pilgrims attended Holy Mass at the Shrine, giving a powerful witness of hope and faith. | |

 A Beautiful Prayer Nov 08, 2010
By Michael D. Powell
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a beautiful, thoughtful and calming prayer given to us by our Lord Jesus, himself. Having it put to music and said in union with all those who made the DVD only adds to the beauty. It is almost a trance like feeling when I say it with the DVD. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a devotion to this prayer and the promises that it offers to the faithful.

What the World Needs Now Jul 26, 2011
By regular person
This is my husband's favorite version of the Chaplet and we're most grateful to have it. Well done, moving, beautifully sung, and most of all, urgently needed for our world. We're praying this will be offered in MP3 soon, as so many people have already moved to that format instead of DVD and CD. Thank you for making it possible for us to pray this at the 3 a.m. hour or any other hour day or night.

 The Second Coming as a Wimper, Not a Bang Mar 27, 2011
By Peter P. Fuchs
What a wonderful country that we live in! We are all are free to enjoy our religious devotions as we like them. What might be crazy or odd to one is serious and universally serious to another. We forget how special this is in the context of human history. That indeed does show a great deal of Divine mercy and blessing on this country. But part of that freedom is being part of a culture, which we of course do not have to like. I don't like many things about our culture. And, not to toot my own horn, but only to be precise what I mean, my unenthusiasm for many parts of our culture has real tangible results in my life. I prefer the great music of the past, or at least the arts of the present which operate under some sort of identifiable standard of quality, however attenuated or quirkily "modern". Well, when cultural historians look at our era one of strangest and inexplicable things will be the artistic trajectory of one of the paramount institutions of Western civilization, the Roman Catholic Church. One could go on for several days about the perplexity created by this institutions that stimulated so much great art now doing the opposite. There are great insights to be had in that conundrum, but not on point for this one. This one is involved with the apocalyptic tendencies of many religionists throughout history. And that is oddly where the Divine Mercy Chaplet comes in. I was scarcely aware of this Catholic devotion a short time ago, and I am someone who, because of my past, has a thematic interest in devotional matters of churches generally, but particularly of this one because of my own past. But, again, more importantly because of the close connection of those devotions and great art produced. One thinks of the massive five-piece cycle the Triumph of the Eucharist by Peter Paul Rubens at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, and one instantly sees that even an an artisticly unprepossessing place as Florida, there is evidence of this phenomenon. But then one confronts the reality of this effort here, The Chaplet of Divine Mercy in Song. . I am sorry for the producers of this effort that it so regularly appears on the cable "airwaves" (EWTN) because then it leaves the realm of simple private devotion, which deserves respect from other citizens, and becomes an analyzable part of the culture. Sadly, the analysis is one of the bleakest possible. The "Kumbaya" aesthetic of the seventies seems not just to have NOT disappeared, but to have rotted into the most unfathomable sickly sweet overripeness. This devotion is sung with a country-jazzy lilt to it, and a tune so vacant of any spiritual life, that it is truly miraculous that any human being could equate this with the great mysteries of existence. One blinks in disbelief at the looks of saturnine self-satisfaction mixed with very comfortable looks of small-time anguish, and it is almost surreal that this is the same religion that produced the L'Homme Arme Mass of Dufay. There is a chasm so deep there that it speak of utter disjunct, or discontinuity, It speaks of a traumatic effect of ambitious men in high positions in that church that have used the basest artistic forms to shore up their very soft-barbaric intentions of petty power. I assert that productions such as this are so strange that it will be taken as prima facie evidence of the vacancy of the religious intent in the institution itself. But there is more. Apparently this particular devotion is tied in the minds of many (Benedict Groeschel) with the Second Coming of Christ. Further, that the devotion of the the last Pope and the current one to this particular devotion, is taken as a sign that the end is near. The type of thinking that Catholics used to be blessedly immune from. But apparently, if this Chaplet is evidence, the Lord will return not with any drama, and bang, but with a glib wimper of plangent ambiguity and colorlessness. Not a very inspiring end at all, and a sort of spiritual blasphemy of a very dispiriting sort.
