The Will Within

  Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Will Within - The Chosen Edition. Due to the exciting feedback around the successful, original The Will Within podcast, we have The Will Within - The Chosen Edition. Our stories will still include the same elements of hope, will, perseverance and inspiration and now include how The Chosen TV Series has made an impact in your own life! Our inaugural edition features Ornella Fava of Rhode Island USA, and Anusha Jebahnasam of Australia. Ornella originally formed a FB page to support Jonathan Roumie and his acting and spiritual endeavors. This project now extends to Instagram platform as well. Ornella, Anusha and some other dedicated fans pray the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet for the The Cast and crew of The Chosen (a practice started by Jonathan himself during the beginning of Corvid). Hear all about their page inception and plans for the future.

  Deborah Ann Keefe Canto Divina: Singing Psalms for Transformation is based upon the process of Lectio Divina and adds the gift of sacred music and the baptism of the holy spirit for transformation. This work strategically develops the research on music and medicine and the connection to Catholicism. Deborah presents her education, experience, and personal transformation through the music of our faith and supports this information with a summary of the history and science of music and medicine. The process of Canto Divina is then defined and practiced with appropriate examples to model this transformation. The psalms were chosen for this process of transformation as they clearly reflect the emotional connection to the heart of God through the words of King David. In this work the research and application of music and medicine has been fully integrated with Catholicism while providing a new intervention for transformation. As St. Augustine once noted, when we sing, we pray twice.
