A Call for Peace and Brotherhood: The 2018 Fraternity Campaign Hymn
The 'Hino da Campanha da Fraternidade 2018' by CNBB is a powerful anthem that resonates deeply with themes of peace, love, and fraternity. Set against the backdrop of the Lenten season, the song calls upon the faithful to transcend the violence that plagues the world. It emphasizes that true fraternity is about overcoming violence, replacing bloodshed with forgiveness, and fostering brotherly love among humanity. The lyrics remind us of Jesus' teaching that we are all brothers and sisters, urging us to live in harmony and compassion.
The hymn further elaborates on the idea that planting seeds of peace and goodness along our paths and nurturing them with care and protection can eradicate violence from our lands. It underscores the Christian commitment to peace, highlighting that exclusion and violence lead to death and destruction, corrupting lives and the creation itself. The song is a plea to God for an end to war and violence, reflecting the prayers of His children for a world filled with justice, peace, and unity.
Moreover, the hymn envisions a new heaven and a new earth, where everyone participates in a joyful fraternity. It speaks of the Church's open heart, teaching love for every brother and sister. Through Jesus Christ, the Church welcomes, loves, and forgives those who have done wrong but seek forgiveness. This message of redemption and reconciliation is central to the hymn, offering hope for a world where love and fraternity prevail over violence and division.
