THE HYMN OF THE GENERAL CHAPTER

We present the hymn of our congregational assembly summoned to this General Chapter. The music and lyrics were created by Marcela Gael, inspired by our charismatic desires. We embrace them to sing with all our lungs and thus live, as custodians of life, and bring to life the rebirth of communion.

We, the sisters gathered here, are already learning it. And we invite you to do the same so we may pray together with its lyrics and share the same desires of Christ…

(Lyrics and music: Marcela Gael)

Translation:

We are the protagonists of change
Witnesses of a new dawn
In a world thirsty for faith and union
Fertile soil for our mission

Contemplating Mary, Image of the church
Like her we keep in our hearts
Longings, joys and sorrows
That nourish the passion of love

Chorus:
Custodians of life, we are reborn in communion.
Custodians of life, we are always united in this great mission.

We are the Church going forth
Builders of a new fraternity
Ecclesial women, prophets
In a world in need of humanity.

Our hearts wide open
To love and welcome the one who suffers in solitude
The marginalized, the hungry, the forgotten,
Suffering Christs of our society.

Chorus:
Custodians of life, we are reborn in communion.
Custodians of life, ever united in this great mission

With hope today we invoke
The Holy Trinity, in communion.
May her grace blow in our hearts
And guide us to unfold our vocation.

We walk ever united
Proclaiming the beauty of the Church
We are bearers of peace, light, justice and love.
We are happy being reborn in communion.

Choir:
Custodians of life, we are reborn in communion.
Custodians of life, ever united in this great mission.
