I am a catholic nun, and I remember when I was living in Liverpool in 1996, struggling to learn English because I was sent as a missionary to the Philippines... it was the first time i listened to English religious songs and they were those of Marilla's... particularly touched me a lot "He toudhed me"! from then on, i really enjoy lostening to her amazing and prayerful voice, surelly she is a gift to our Christian faith! Thank you beautiful Marilla!

I stumbled upon Marilla on the internet when I was looking for Christian songs & was so pleased to have discovered her worship videos. Her voice is so angelic & I am particularly moved by her version of Be Still for the Presence of The Lord. I am a Protestant & how wonderful you are using your gifting to bring Roman Catholics & Protestants together. After all, when we go to be with our Lord there certainly won't be separate denominations. Thank you so much, you are a blessing. Carolyn

last Sunday I was listening to Clare Balding talking to a lady called Una Kroll, who has had an amazing life. Next I heard this glorious voice singing "Peace like a River" and immediately went online to order some of Marilla's music. Years ago I attended a Divine Mercy service in a church in Airdrie and was so enchanted by it, I got the priest to make me a copy of the music he had used. One hymn that has stayed with me is "The Love I have for you me lord" and am sure its Marilla's voice, so now searching for a cd including that music

First heard Marilla's version of Be Not Afraid at a friend's funeral in a Catholic Church in Liverpool last week and immediately resolved to find out who this lady with the voice of an angel is.
She is truly gifted and I'm so happy to have discovered this resume of her history.

I was in a book store in r.I..and heard a cd playing of marillas. I purchased it and before I left I bought all they had by marilla. I hope she records ..surely the presence of the lord is in this place. We sing it in church and I sing it all week when I am alone. God bless you marilla.

What a discovery Marilla I did on Internet! Discovering your lovely and angelic voice. What a wonderful gift from God and you use it so beautifully.
Really, I just discovered you this week and since you are always singing in our home. I enjoy so much your godly music....so soft, so inspiring, so uplifting.
May God bless you, your husband and family.
Together in Christ and with Mary, our Mother

I was a member of the original prayer group core membership that needed someone to accompany them with the music. Her voice is just as amazing now as then . Thankyou God for Marilla

Marilla is a blessing to me, I'm catholic and I listen to her music from my computer. I have 2 albums: holy one of israel and another which I have forgotten the title. The melodius songs always lead me to the heart of the Father, I still need more of your albums, its just what every Catholic should have. God bless you, your husband and the children, Amen
