Years ago, Donna Cori Gibson came across the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska and placed it in her collection of Catholic books. She didn’t pick it up until a few years later, when she hit a low point in her life.
What struck her the most from the diary — which details Christ’s private revelations to the Polish nun in the 1930s — was how He stressed the value of suffering and how powerful it is when we are able to unite our own sufferings with His.
“It’s almost that He needs our suffering,” she said. “He’s looking for souls who are willing to join Him on the cross for the salvation of sinners. He wants co-redeemers to make their offerings with Him. This is the time of mercy.”
In the midst of her career as a Catholic recording artist, Gibson was moved to record a CD featuring the Divine Mercy chaplet and prayers.
“The prayers for the chaplet are a continuation of the consecration,” she said. “By praying the chaplet we are continuing the consecration. So it’s intimately tied to the Mass. It’s an continuation of the sacrifice of Calvary and … I explain our participation is in uniting our sufferings, our joys, sorrows everything to that one sacrifice.”
Here it is From You Tube -- Donna Cori Gibson Singing Very Reverently The Chaplet Of Divine Mercy and another really catchy song by her.
