Prime time?? I'm talking about REVERENCE? Praying with REVERENCE...not rock n roll'n to what should be a solemn practice in praying. This is so far from Catholic Tradition from truly holy music like Gregorian Chant, Byrd, Palestrina. Your rock'n only Takes away any and all contemplation of prayer and is rather being focused on that noisemaking. Have some respect!
David danced in front of the ark of the covenant IN AN EPHOD with a BAND accompanying him. Michal, King david's wife, not understanding her husband's motive, and thinking he had lowered himself before the people, reproached him bitterly, and despised him in her heart. But David's motive for rejoicing was pure.
why is rock and roll not reverent...I think Jesus appreciates all prayer. This is a way that reaches to our generation. I do like the other version better though :)
Yes, I have seen it sung, and also just ready beautifully, and I love the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I also used to play an instrument back in the day when I was in school, so I can appreciate that this is a learning and growing experience for these kids. Even if you don't think they're ready for prime time, give them time, and one day they will be.
Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector. 11The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.
your suppose to PRAY the Divine Mercy PRAYER, not rock n roll to it. How holy is that? Nothing but NOISE which distracts from the contemplation one gets in the silence within, while contemplating "quietly" the words which you are "praying". The devil Loves to distract and take away a good and Reverent Prayer(ing).
But the tax-collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, God, be merciful to me, a sinner! I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.
you don't need a rock n roll band (which that is what it sounds like). Get back to Holiness and Reverence! This is exactly like Protestanism/Pentecostals. With that noisiness background it only takes away from any contemplation on what you are suppose to be PRAYING!
Well Bill, to me it appears to be a Divine Mercy conference, and these kids brought their instruments, so the youth leader is teaching them how to do a Divine Mercy song. He seems very kind and encouraging, and sings well.
I think before you do and praising the Lord, please pray first to the Holy Spirit, to guide you and make the chnating of the chaplet more blssed and holy. It is the Lord you are dediciating all this. so please be more holy in his presence.
sweet! though im a protestent pentecostal christian i love comtemporary versions of catholic songs! My brother and I are doing this type of thing at a catholic church and doing other comtemporary songs! We are introducing to them new hillsong music!
This is ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE DIVINE MERCY VIDEO! I'm going to make it my 3 o'clock prayer whenever I'm at a computer.

Don't forget also, that David was a man after Gods own heart in the Lord's own words Acts 13:22
Just because you don't understand what these kids are doing, doesn't make it bad.
A drummer drumming for the Lord is a worthy gift.

All my comments have been taken from Scripture.
Is there any scripture that forbids playing stringed instruments or singing to God?
I think not.

Watch EWTN and see how reverently they sing the Divine Mercy. Not a bunch hoop-la like this.

Of another vision on Sept. 13, 1935, Sister Faustina writes:
"I saw an Angel, the executor of God's wrath... about to strike
the earth...I began to beg God earnestly for the world with words
which I heard interiorly. As I prayed in this way, I saw the
Angel's helplessness, and he could not carry out the just
punishment...."

The following day an inner voice taught her to say this prayer on
ordinary rosary beads:
"First say one 'Our Father', 'Hail Mary', and 'I believe'. Then on
the large beads say the following words:
'Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement
for our sins and those of the whole world.'
Catholicisgood 3 years ago
On the smaller beads you are to say the following words:
'For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the
whole world.'
In conclusion you are to say these words three times:
'Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
and on the whole world'.

Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:
"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who
says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests
will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most
hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will
receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to
know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to
those who trust in My Mercy...."

"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I
will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just
judge but as the Merciful Savior".
