Product DescriptionOriginal music, meditations and lyrics on the Seven Sorrows of Mary by St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori. Produced and arranged by Little Lamb Music. Fr. Pablo Straub, an EWTN favorite personality, leads us in prayer.
This beautiful CD of prayer is a special production by Little Lamb Music for the Redemptorists. Father Pablo Straub, C.Ss.R., records an historic CD on his 50th jubilee in the priesthood and it's the first CD to join an EWTN personality with the music of a saint, St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori.
Praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary with St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori is one of the first CDs to feature music of a saint in English. This project is the second CD produced and arranged by Ray and Theresa Herrmann for Little Lamb Music who partnered with the Redemptorists to help their missions in Brazil and Nigeria.
St. Alphonsus is the great 18th century Italian saint, founder of the Redemptorists religious order and a doctor of the church.
Ray Herrmann is a Grammy award winner with over 20 years of experience playing with and arranging music for some of the biggest names in American music: LeAnn Rimes, Chicago, Whitney Houston, Christine Aguilera, Bob Dylan, Santana and Herbie Hancock, to name just a few.
The National Catholic Register wrote recently, Ray and Theresa Herrmann and the Redemptorists have combined to produce music and spoken word of rare spiritual depth and musical sophistication.
With the music of St. Alphonsus playing in the background and several songs sung in between the tracks, Father Pablo leads us in the prayers and meditations written by St. Alphonsus for this Marian devotion, which are meant to help us show gratitude and demonstrate sympathy for what our Blessed Mother endured in each of the Seven Sorrows.
Our Lord, said to Blessed Veronica (Church approved): My daughter, tears shed for My Passion are dear to Me. However, because I loved My Mother Mary with an immense love, the meditation on the torments which she endured at My death is even more agreeable to Me.
