Perfeito É Quem Te Criou
Padre Marcelo Rossi
A Tribute to the Blessed Mother: Divine Grace and Reverence
Padre Marcelo Rossi's song "Perfeito É Quem Te Criou" is a heartfelt tribute to the Virgin Mary, celebrating her divine grace and the reverence she commands among believers. The lyrics begin by referencing the Annunciation, where an angel declared Mary as 'full of grace.' This sets the tone for the song, emphasizing Mary's unique and exalted status. The singer humbly acknowledges his own position, expressing a desire to also proclaim Mary's grace and blessedness, aligning himself with generations of believers who have done the same.
The song continues by highlighting the biblical teaching that all generations will call Mary blessed. This is a direct reference to the Magnificat, a canticle found in the Gospel of Luke, where Mary herself prophesies that all generations will call her blessed. By reiterating this, the song reinforces the idea of Mary's perpetual blessedness and her special place in Christian faith. The repetition of phrases like 'cheia de graça' (full of grace) and 'bem-aventurada' (blessed) serves to deepen the sense of reverence and admiration for Mary.
In the final verses, the song paints a vivid image of Mary as a celestial queen, adorned with the sun, moon, and stars. This imagery is drawn from the Book of Revelation, where a woman clothed with the sun and crowned with stars appears as a great sign in the heavens. The song concludes by acknowledging that just as God crowned Mary, believers also crown her as their queen. This act of crowning symbolizes the honor and devotion that the faithful bestow upon Mary, recognizing her as a powerful intercessor and a beloved mother figure in the Christian tradition.
