A Devotional Ode to Mary: Seeking Comfort and Blessings
The song 'És a Escolhida' by Ministério Amor e Adoração is a heartfelt devotional piece dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The lyrics express a deep sense of need and reverence for Mary, asking her to look upon the faithful and provide comfort through her love. The opening lines, 'Doce Mãe de Deus olha para nós / Pois, necessitamos de Ti,' set the tone for a prayerful plea, highlighting the believers' reliance on Mary's intercession in their lives.
The song continues with a request for Mary to console the faithful and reveal Jesus to them, 'Vem nos consolar com o teu amor / Mostra-nos o teu Jesus.' This line underscores the role of Mary as a mediator who brings the faithful closer to Jesus, emphasizing her importance in the spiritual journey of the believers. The repetition of the desire to be 'Todo teu Maria eu quero ser' signifies a deep commitment to Mary, reflecting a tradition of consecration where individuals dedicate themselves entirely to her guidance and protection.
In the final verses, the song acknowledges Mary's unique position as 'a escolhida de Deus' (the chosen one of God) and implores her to intercede for her children, 'Maria roga pelos filhos teus.' This reinforces the belief in Mary's special role in the divine plan and her ability to bless and protect the faithful. The song is a beautiful expression of Marian devotion, blending prayer, reverence, and a plea for divine intervention through the maternal care of Mary.
