Towards Dublin: The 3rd Artistic Multimedia Clip is Online
Combined with preparatory catechesis, available in five languages, it is an ideal resource for parishes
"Ombra mai fu", the opening aria of Georg Friedrich Handel’s opera “Xerxes,” is the soundtrack of the third multimedia artistic clip produced by the Dicastery with the collaboration of the Franciscans of Mary in preparation for the World Meeting of the Families in Dublin.
The Gospel phrase “Did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?” (Lk 2:49) is the main theme of the clip of this third catechesis, which tells of God’s great dream for every family.
Combined with the catecheses, these clips—lively and pleasant resources to use in the family or the parish—are available in five languages and last about 5 minutes each, offering an intertwining of the Gospel’s text, in a musical itinerary created by Marco Tibaldi, theological consultant for the project “Il Grande Mistero”, and a piece performed in concert by Maestro Andrea Bocelli at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
