Divine Mercy in Song
Divine Mercy in Song is a project of Trish Short, founder of the nonprofit organization Artists for Life.[1][2] After composing a contemporary version of the Divine Mercy prayer, her song became widely used for this rosary prayer.[3]
History
[edit]
After Trish Short founded the nonprofit group Artists for Life in 2000, the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy[4] located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, commissioned her to compose a Contemporary Christian song based on the Divine Mercy Chaplet in 2002.[1][3] Based on a prayer from Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul by St. Maria Faustina Kowalska,[5] Short produced the CD and sings one of three lead vocalist parts, with Michael Bethea[6] and Crystal Yates.
The Marians of the Immaculate Conception and the Eucharistic Apostles of The Divine Mercy helped Short produce a video filmed at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in 2002.[1][3]The Chaplet of Divine Mercy in Song has been heard on EWTN Global Catholic Network.[7] Short said she believed she had fallen "beyond the reach of God's mercy" until a friend told her about the message of Divine Mercy.[1]
A Spanish version of Short's Rosary-based prayer, La Coronilla de La Divina Misericordia, Cantada (The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy, Sung) and Generations Unite in Prayer: The Divine Mercy Chaplet in Song are other productions from Divine Mercy in Song.[8]
