Did you ever have a brilliant idea in the middle of the night, only to wake and wonder, “What was I thinking about?” That’s what happened to Janet Pace when she heard about the new Mysteries of Light which Pope John Paul II added to celebrate the “Year of the Rosary.”
She felt that the Lord had given her a mission to produce a new Rosary CD with all 4 mystery meditations. Though the task seemed daunting and she was uncertain about whether she wanted to do it, the Lord showed her that He had given her own children the gifts needed to make it happen. Her son is a musician and recording engineer in Nashville and her daughter is a graphic artist.
She submitted to the workings of the Holy Spirit and spent all Lent writing the meditations. They are written as though Jesus and Mary are speaking directly to the listener about family issues. Janet asked a family from her own parish to recite the Rosary prayers on the CD. What a blessing to hear this father of six lead his family in the Holy Rosary.
For music behind the meditations and decades, she selected familiar hymns and added the special touch of six original pieces written and recorded by her son for the CD. Her daughter beautifully created graphics, selecting a simple but effective theme of an adult hand holding a child’s hand with a Rosary cradling both.
The inspiration for the Rosary for the Family CD was a desire that all those who hear it will find themselves falling in love with Jesus and Mary all over again. Mary has told us at Fatima that wars can be averted and the chastisements lessened through praying the Rosary. It is one of our greatest weapons against the evil one who seeks to destroy us. Janet Pace prays that this will encourage more people to pray it every day.
A Rosary for the Family helps keep your mind from wandering and keeps you on track while meditating. Each set of mysteries only takes 17 minutes. It is perfect for listening in the car or in a family gathering.
Pace wants people to enjoy saying the Rosary again and to pray it often. All the profits she receives will help her home parish to further the work of the Lord.
