Franciscan Sisters and Annie Karto Offer a Divine Mercy Gift of Song
Contact: Sr. Julie Ann Sheahan, OSF, Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, 920-323-9632, sjulieann@fscc-calledtobe.org MANITOWOC, Wis., April 1, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- From April 1 through April 3, Franciscan Sisters feature Annie Karto's "Divine Mercy Flood My Soul" - A free download to celebrate the Feast of Divine Mercy at fscc-calledtobe.org.
Catholic singer-songwriter and inspirational speaker Annie Karto has been called the "Catholic Joan Baez" by her contemporaries. Over 20 years ago, after a deep conversion experience before the Blessed Eucharist, Annie was given the penance to spread the Lord's Divine Mercy for the rest of her life. Annie has used her gift of voice, and speaking skills to evangelize wherever the Lord calls her. A highlight in her ministry was writing and singing a song she wrote for Rwandan genocide survivor, Immaculee Ilibagiza, leading to a trip to Immaculee's village in Rwanda in August of 2011.
The Healing Mercy of God is the heart of her music ministry, along with singing of the beautiful sacraments of the Catholic Church, and honoring the Blessed Mother Mary.
Sr. Marsaia Kastner, OSF reflected that "John Paul II who instituted the Feast of Divine Mercy and died on the eve of the feast of the Divine Mercy would smile in appreciation of this amazingly beautiful song-prayer! So exceptionally right for the richly blest feast of The Divine Mercy which we celebrate the Sunday after Easter. This is not a simplistic feast. It is a feast that takes us to the heart of our God, to Jesus the Son, Who came to understand and love and forgive all of us, if only we are open!"
"The captivating tone of the violinist, the interweavings of the violin and sung harmonies; the deep voice of the cello; the occasional little touch of delicate percussion express most poignantly Annie Karto's experience of God's mercy. All of this assists our own prayerful experience when we slow down and listen with a receptive spirit. Cover us, LORD, with Your mercy. Hold us and all the world's people, to Yourself."
