A new collaboration of Anthony Moran and Richard Schletty. Tony's daughter, Tara Moran (a Broadway stage singer), will sing the song soon, replacing my voice in this demo. Please listen to more "Songs of Faith for Liturgies and Devotions" sung by Tara. Please visit www.catholicliturgyinsong.org – or use the insong.org shortcut.

Which arrangement do you like – v5, v6 or v7? Please comment below.

We will be adding a chorus of voices singing the Alleluias.

"Queen of Heaven, Rejoice - Regina Coeli" is recited during the Easter season instead of the "Angelus."

1st Verse:
The life I chose didn't start well
Like a dying rose I was dark but then the hell...
In my life was too much to handle
In such a way I had to dismantle...
Then pick up the pieces
The whole time I got a lift up from Jesus
The ultimate gift that was given for a reason...
A second chance
We are all blessed in advance... 

1st Verse:
The older I get
The less shoulders get wet...
Because I've cried a lifetime
I used to hide at night time...
Until I found GOD and I tried harder
I reach for the sky but I don't want to die a Martyr...
I just want to share some words
I just want to care in this world...
My heart spills through my pen
So this art won't kill what's in my head...
I have had demons in the past and they still linger 
Trying to open my scars but these fingers...
Make the sign of the cross
Take some wine cos I'm not lost...  

I am working on a Catholic album but have 10 tracks I wanted to release in an ebook form because I thought they read like hip hop poetry rather than alternativly be released as songs. I have provided the link here for you to download for free from amazon.com. God Bless. Alex.

Just wanted to say Happy New Year's and that I am looking forward to hearing members new music in 2018. God Bless.

Find a music video of Totus Tuus at www.lumenhilare.com

The title is a Latin phrase meaning "totally thine" from the Marian consecrating prayer found in the book True Devotion to Mary by Saint Louis de Montfort. This song sets the entire prayer with the addition of Ad Jesum per Mariam.  Totus Tuus was St. John Paul II's apostolic motto. He once recalled how as a young seminarian he "read and reread many times and with great spiritual profit" some writings of Saint Louis de Montfort and that: "Then I understood that I could not exclude the Lord's Mother from my life without neglecting the will of God-Trinity".​

In 1987, Henryk Górecki composed a choral piece (Totus Tuus Op. 60) to celebrate the Pope's third pilgrimage to his native Poland that summer. While the motet opens with the same words as the apostolic motto, the piece actually uses a poem by Maria Boguslawska for its text.

Totus tuus ego sum
et omnia mea tua sunt.
Accipio te in mea omnia!
Praebe mihi cor tuum, Maria.
Ad Jesum per Mariam.

I am entirely yours,
and all that I have is yours.
Be my guide in all things
O Mary, give me your heart.
To Jesus through Mary.
