Libreto
Written primarily in English, The Rosary for World Peace libretto sets over 1800 Scripture verses in mini-dramas and narratives. Throughout, prophetic Old Testament Scripture verses prefigure the New Testament revelations of Jesus Christ.
Recurring traditional prayers in Latin establish a rhythmic substructure that provides reflective moments of meditation. In addition, twenty representative world languages are interspersed, as brief introductions to the Ave Maria prayers, giving the entire work a global resonance in this poetic communion with the people of the world.
Read privately, The Rosary for World Peace libretto serves as a meditation for world peace: for as we learn and live in the Way of God, the barrier between Heaven and Earth gives way to a continuous, seamless exchange of love, compassion, forgiveness—and peace.
Theological Review: The Rosary for World Peace libretto has been granted an Imprimatur by the Archdiocese of Chicago and has also been favorably reviewed by several leading theologians and Vatican representatives.
