Coração de Maria

Padre Zezinho's song 'Coração de Maria' delves into the profound and contemplative thoughts of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as she reflects on her divine role. The lyrics explore the inner musings of Mary's heart as she contemplates the immense responsibility and honor bestowed upon her by God. The repeated question, 'Porque será que Deus me escolheu?' (Why did God choose me?), highlights her humility and the weight of her divine mission. This introspection is central to understanding Mary's acceptance of her role as the mother of the Savior, a role that defines her identity and purpose.

The song emphasizes Mary's servitude and her unwavering commitment to God's will. The lines 'Sou serva e não posso ser serva / Sou serva de quem me escolheu' (I am a servant and cannot be a servant / I am a servant of the one who chose me) reflect her deep sense of duty and devotion. Mary's acceptance of her role without reservations, as indicated by 'Pediu o meu sim sem reservas' (He asked for my unconditional yes), underscores her complete trust and faith in God's plan. This servitude is not just a passive acceptance but an active participation in the divine mystery, as she carries the 'segredo' (secret) of the Savior in her womb.

The song also touches on the prophetic nature of Jesus' mission, as Mary acknowledges that her son will reveal eternal truths to the world. The lines 'O mundo vai ver a verdade / Meu filho nos ensinará / Respostas de eternidade' (The world will see the truth / My son will teach us / Answers of eternity) highlight the transformative impact of Jesus' teachings. Mary's role is thus not only as a mother but also as a witness to the unfolding of divine revelation. Through her reflections, the song invites listeners to ponder the mysteries of faith, divine choice, and the profound impact of Jesus' life and teachings on humanity.
