Hino da Campanha da Fraternidade 2025

The 'Hino da Campanha da Fraternidade 2025' by the CNBB is a powerful reflection on the relationship between humanity and God’s creation. The song highlights Christ’s incarnation as an act of love and redemption, bringing value and care to all creatures. The lyrics emphasize the beauty and gifts of Paradise, which God entrusted to humankind, and the responsibility we have in preserving this divine creation. The repetition of the phrase 'Deus viu que tudo, tudo era muito bom' ('God saw that all was good forevermore') reinforces the inherent goodness of creation, as described in Genesis.

The song also addresses the interconnection of all things in the universe, a concept that aligns with Integral Ecology, promoted by Pope Francis in the encyclical Laudato Si'. During Lent, a time of reflection and conversion, we are called to care for the 'Casa Comum' ('Common Home'), a term symbolizing planet Earth and our collective responsibility to protect it. The lyrics suggest that true fraternity includes respect and care for the environment, recognizing that the destruction of nature is a disregard for God’s creation.

Moreover, the hymn highlights the negative transformation caused by humanity, as it has disregarded God's Law and the beauty of creation. However, there is a message of hope and renewal, symbolized by a 'nova Páscoa' ('new Easter'), which represents a rebirth of creation through care and shared responsibility. The song is an invitation to reflect on our role as stewards of the Earth and the need for an ecological conversion that honors the interdependence of all life forms.
