(<http://www.catholicnewsagency.com>CNA).- Liam Neeson, known for his
role as Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's film "Schindler's
List," is the featured narrator on a new CD about the Stations of the
Cross. The CD features the 14 Stations and prayers taken from the
writings of St. Alphonsus Liguori, the founder of the Redemptorists.
Neeson begins the CD by reading the "Introduction," written by St.
Alphonsus Maria Ligouri, the great 18th century Italian saint and
doctor of the Church. He then narrates the 14 Stations of the Cross
which are taken from the classic text, "The Way of the Cross
according to the Method of St. Alphonsus Liguori."
"I had heard about the Redemptorists and their missionary work in the
Amazon rain forest of Brazil and in the slums of Lagos and Ibadan,
Nigeria," Liam Neeson said in a press release. "I was moved to help
because the Redemptorists are living the Gospel message in some of
the poorest parts of the world, offering hope to families who have
been forgotten or abandoned."
Praying the Way of the Cross is the third CD produced for the
Redemptorists of the Denver Province by Ray and Theresa Herrmann,
co-founders of Little Lamb Music, a company dedicated to providing
families with high-quality Catholic music. In 2007 and 2008,
respectively, they produced Praying the Rosary with St. Alphonsus
Maria Liguori and Praying the Seven Sorrows of Mary with St.
Alphonsus Maria Liguori. On the CDs, the saint's music is produced,
arranged and performed by the company and other musicians and
vocalists from some of the world's finest orchestras and choral groups.
Ray Herrmann is a Grammy-award winning musician and one of the
world's finest session players and instrumentalists. He has spent the
last 20 years playing with and arranging music for some of the
biggest names in American music: Diana Ross, Chicago, Bob Dylan,
Santana, LeeAnn Rimes, Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Herbie
Hancock. Ray is also in the house band on the hit television show,
American Idol.
On hearing Liam in the studio, Ray Herrmann said, "I was deeply moved
by Liam's reading of the words of St. Alphonsus. It was so
beautifully done. And I knew then I was part of something very
special: a production that celebrates Good Friday with the voice of
one of the world's greatest actors with the sacred hymns and prayers
of this great saint of the Church."
Proceeds from the sale of the CDs will support the work of the
Redemptorist missions in Brazil and Nigeria.
