A Deep Yearning for Communion: Understanding 'Desejei Ardentemente'

The song 'Desejei Ardentemente' by Igreja Cristã Maranata is a heartfelt expression of the deep desire for communion between Jesus and His followers. The lyrics are a direct reference to the Last Supper, where Jesus expressed His earnest wish to share a meal with His disciples before His crucifixion. The repetition of the phrase 'Desejei ardentemente' (I earnestly desired) underscores the intensity of Jesus' longing to be with His people, highlighting the profound love and sacrifice He was about to make.

The song invites the listeners to partake in the symbolic acts of breaking bread and drinking wine, which represent Jesus' body and blood. This act of communion is not just a ritual but a profound spiritual experience that connects believers to the sacrifice of Jesus. The bread symbolizes His body given for humanity, and the wine represents His blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. By participating in this sacred meal, the faithful are reminded of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice and the new covenant established through His death and resurrection.

The recurring calls to 'Alegrai-vos' (Rejoice) and 'Regozijai-vos' (Be glad) emphasize the joy and gratitude that should accompany this act of communion. Despite the somber remembrance of Jesus' suffering, the song encourages believers to find joy in the salvation and eternal life that His sacrifice has secured for them. The communal aspect of the song, addressing 'povo meu' (my people), reinforces the unity and shared faith among the participants, making the act of communion a collective celebration of Jesus' love and redemption.
