"God does give us our heart's desire — just not in the way we often believe it to be nor at the time we think it should materialize". Donna Cori Gibson is doing exactly what she wanted to do since the time she was in grade school. But she never imagined it would be like this. From her home in Washington state, this talented artist uncovers Catholic treasures hidden in the prayers of the saints, as well as important passages from Scripture, and puts them to music. It is a unique gift which is only enhanced by the power and beauty of her voice. Listen to find out more about how God granted Donna Cori Gibson her heart's desire, and immerse yourself in the presence of God through her music in this new edition of Catholic Music Network's Artist Profile."1
After years of working in New York as a professional singer, songwriter, and studio musician, she has moved to the beauty of Washington state where she lives with her husband Matthew and two children, Marie and Christopher. A lay Carmelite since 1999, Donna finds most of her prayer/songs from the many books that she reads. Donna's music is focused on prayer and explaining the truths of the Catholic Church with Scripture. Songs include word for word prayers from the Bible (as singing makes for easy memorization) and well known prayers of the Church. Setting prayers to music is Donna's way of helping brothers and sisters in the Lord to "Pray to the Spirit on all occasions with all kind of prayers and requests" (Phil 6:18).
Our Holy Father John Paul II reminds us that it was Saint Augustine who said that singing is prayer times 2, however in his 1995 visit, he said that he thinks it is prayer TIMES THREE!
