The lyrics that light up the heart
“Come brother and follow me, for today I will show you the call I heard…” thus begins the hymn, which quickly transforms into a song of sending, with phrases that penetrate deep as:
“Proclaim Christ wherever you can, without doubt or fear, proclaiming the truth that dwells within you.”.
The theme connects with Augustinian spirituality through explicit references to St. Augustine:
“You wounded my heart with your word and I loved you, I tasted your perfume and now I sigh for you”, evoking the Confessions of the saint Hippo.evoking the Confessions of the saint of Hippo.
More than a simple song, it is a missionary proposal: an invitation to live and share faith through daily witness, fraternity and love.
“Proclaim Christ”: a hymn for a missionary year
The pastoral course 2025-2026 wants to be an invitation to return to the essential: to proclaim Christ with words, gestures and life.. This hymn sets this yearning to music, and does so with joy and youthful strength.
Evangelizing with one voice
This hymn is the fruit of the joint work of the Augustinian Recollect youth, religious and lay people committed to the proclamation of the Gospel. In the words of its interpreters:
“The RAY has to be a space to share life, where there are no masks, where we can talk about God and what He is doing in our lives.”
The musical production, which is part of the series of releases of Recoletos Music to accompany the pastoral course, stands out not only for its artistic quality, but also for the evangelizing commitment it transmits in every note.
