I Missionari Comboniani del Sud Sudan hanno composto un Inno per i 150 anni (1867-2017) della Fondazione dell’Istituto Comboniano. “Si tratta di un semplice segno per questa celebrazione che viene dalla nostra terra – ha detto P. Guido Oliana, uno dei principali promotori dell’iniziativa –. L’abbiamo registrato con i nostri poveri mezzi. Forse il risultato avrebbe potuto essere migliore, ma ha un tocco originale e rustico e il sapore del Sud Sudan. È cantato da un gruppo di seminaristi del seminario maggiore di Juba e da una suora comboniana con una sua amica.” Troverete il “canto” in allegato e sul Comboni Website.


WE ARE CALLED TO GO AND PREACH

We are called to go and preach the joy of the Gospel.
The pierced Heart of Jesus kindles us in love.
We are called to go and preach the joy of the Gospel.
The pierced Heart of Jesus kindles us in love.


1. We are moved by Saint Comboni’s spirit
to be a cenacle of prayerful apostles.
We are born from Jesus’ pierced heart,
and enkindled by his tender love,
and inspired by his divine Spirit,
to go and preach his Gospel of joy.

We are called to go and preach the joy of the Gospel.
The pierced Heart of Jesus kindles us in love.
We are called to go and preach the joy of the Gospel.
The pierced Heart of Jesus kindles us in love.

2. We are called Comboni Missionaries
of the Heart of Jesus Christ the Lord.
This indeed is our inspiration,
and our pride, our cross, and our glory.
We are told to be holy and capable,
well prepared to give our life for Christ.

We are called to go and preach the joy of the Gospel.
The pierced Heart of Jesus kindles us in love.
We are called to go and preach the joy of the Gospel.
The pierced Heart of Jesus kindles us in love.

3. We are called to contemplate the cross
so as to know how God has loved the world.
We are moved to reach out to people
and proclaim the power of the Gospel
that frees people from any evil spirit
and empowers them as children of God.
