"The message does not disappear from one moment to the next, I hope it never will," confesses Attila Dolhai, who not only took part in the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress, but also in Márton Vizy and Ágoston Dávid Tóth's song Camino, Christ is our future . We got to know the official song of the papal visit via YouTube, it will be presented on April 29 in the Puskás Arena.
In an interview with Magyar Kurír, Dolhai testifies about this:
The feeling I experienced in connection with the Eucharistic Congress was important to me. Since then, my relationship with God and the way I see my life have changed a lot. I grew up in a faithful Catholic family, I got this tradition from my parents. Yet this was my first Easter when I understood something about salvation and resurrection. This is a very important experience in my life now.
A few weeks ago Vizy Marci asked me to take part in the reformulation of this quasi-anthem. This is not originally an independent song, but part of the St. Ignatius musical, the idea of which is due to one of the pastors of the Jesuit high school in Miskolc.
That this became the official song of the papal visit, I think, is also the work of providence. If this song is not reborn for the papal visit, I would ask if there would have been an "anthem" for the papal visit.It is important to enjoy the Holy Father's visit together. At Marci's invitation, we got together because we thought this song could be another invitation to meet for young people and everyone who listens to it.
The important mission of the song is to spread the news that we can meditate and pray together with the Holy Father in Hungary, who do not encounter faith every day.
This morning at the greengrocer's Kistarcsa was also discussed. In a friendly conversation after the concert - in a non-religious environment - the importance and joy of this song and the fact that the Pope is visiting Hungary also came up. Questions are asked by people who are not religious practitioners. These appeals are proof that the song has an important mission.
I expect something similar to the closing Mass of the Eucharistic Congress in Hősök Square: seeing the Holy Father under the huge cross was already a moving moment. It occurred to me then that we are together with God through him. It was a wonderful feeling that so many people thought the same, and that we were able to surrender ourselves to the love, attention, and contemplation with which we were able to receive the Holy Father's messages.
I am sure that even now you will have thoughts that we do not even expect, which will give us new insight and understanding about the Gospel and the reason for our faith.
Following the fact that I became a messenger of the NEK and had to talk about my faith, others were also encouraged. Messengership doesn't go away overnight, I hope it never does.Regarding the song: it was so obvious that I say yes. But if there were three other songs, I would have gladly taken them on as well. Now I didn't have to weigh it, the Good Lord put it in front of me.
