A new PARMA Recordings Agreement was entered into as of August 2024. Delaney's Trilogy of Hope opus will, at long last, be fulfilled. PARMA, a GRAMMY® award-winning company, will include Delaney's song, Sanctus, as the Prelude to Trilogy of Hope. After a white dove befriended Delaney, she was inspired to compose a poem~song. Sanctus was penned and dedicated to the Holy Spirit. The recording session took place at Studio Martínek in Prague on March 11, 2025.
The post production of the original Trilogy of Hope recordings (comprised of Army of Peace, I Have Waited, and King of Hearts) with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Kühn Choir of Prague was successfully fulfilled on March 13 and 24, 2025. The expected album release is October 3, 2025 on PARMA's Big Round Records label. CDs will also be produced. Exciting news! And how timely for the Jubilee Year 2025. The theme is Pilgrims of Hope! This is a time of reconciliation, spiritual renewal, restoration, graces, and, of course, hope. How perfect for Trilogy of Hope to be introduced to humankind.
Feast of Saint Joseph. March 19, 2025 Cathedral of St. Bartholomew, Pilsen, Czech Republic. Hanka, best friend of my Czech translator, Jiřina, kindly offered to be my guide while visiting. I was walking out of the Cathedral, nearing the first set of doors. A quiet voice prompted me, "Go down the left aisle." With expectancy, my steps drew closer. Lo, at the front left side altar was the Child Jesus statue! He was wearing white vestments with a red embroidered heart! My sweet King of Hearts was calling me! Humbly grateful. He called me to Him!
And yet another spiritual surprise! To the left of the encasement was a pure gold Angel holding a hand scroll which said, "Sanctus sanctus sanctus." "Sanctus sanctus sanctus" are the exact words on Delaney's top worn in the recording studio while in production for my song, Sanctus! Now both Sanctus and King of Hearts are unequivocally tied together in a sacred harmony of purpose and praise.
Currently Delaney is preparing The Mystical Series of Aniěka, a sequence of five books. Interwoven through each story is the Infant Jesus's Presence and the Holy Spirit's Movement. The reader will come along the joyful journey through Aniěka Meets the Infant Jesus, The Little King's Valentine, Aniěka and the Door of Hope, Aniěka and the Angel of Light, and Sanctus and the White Dove's Crown. May the Blessed Trinity guide Delaney's mind, body, and spirit, inspiring the content of each narrative.
Delaney prays the music God moves her to compose will inspire people to "become a prayer," and draw each soul nearer to the Blessed Trinity. Let us pray that Delaney's music will soon be published in Church hymnals to open hearts, minds, and souls further in love for the King of All Hearts. One of lay Sister Delaney's mottos: "Pray for one another so another one will pray."
