Catholic composer / vocalist Michael Zabrocki announces the release of The Chaplet of Divine Mercy, a prayerful new recording dedicated to Saint John Paul II, Pope, whose life and pontificate were deeply marked by devotion to Divine Mercy. Release date is set for Corpus Christi Sunday, June 7, 2026.
The track, which runs over 18 minutes, features all prayers spoken by Michael Zabrocki, with the sung chant in new setting composed and performed by Michael. The melody is inspired by the ancient beauty of the Salve Regina chant, offering a reverent, simple, and easily sung setting intended to be welcomed by all those devoted to the Divine Mercy devotion.
Michael dedicates this recording to Saint John Paul II, Pope who once said, “The message of Divine Mercy has always been near and dear to me… in a sense [it] forms the image of this pontificate.” He also prayed unceasingly that God would “have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
With this new release, Michael Zabrocki hopes to offer the faithful a beautiful and prayerful way to enter more deeply into the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, honoring both the message of mercy given through Saint Faustina and the beloved pope who helped bring that message to the world.
