A Escolhida

The song "A Escolhida," performed by Músicas Católicas, is a devotional piece that pays homage to the Virgin Mary, revered in Christian tradition as the mother of Jesus Christ. The title itself, which translates to 'The Chosen One,' refers to the belief that Mary was selected by God to be the mother of His son, a role that is central to Catholic doctrine and veneration.

The lyrics express deep reverence and admiration for Mary, highlighting her virtues and her unique role in salvation history. Phrases like 'Foste tu, Maria, a serva preferida' ('You were, Mary, the favored servant') and 'Mãe do meu Senhor' ('Mother of my Lord') underscore her significance and the honor bestowed upon her. The song also emphasizes Mary's perpetual role in the Christian faith as an intercessor and a source of grace and comfort, inviting her to 'walk with your people,' which symbolizes her ongoing spiritual presence and guidance.

The repeated invocation for Mary to 'Roga pelos pecadores desta Terra' ('Pray for the sinners of this Earth') reflects the Catholic practice of asking for Mary's intercession. The song's gentle and respectful tone captures the essence of Marian devotion, portraying her as a compassionate figure who is always there for the faithful, reinforcing her title as 'Nossa mãe sempre será' ('Our mother she will always be'). The song is a prayerful request for her support and a recognition of her eternal maternal role.
