Background

During the Philippine's preparation for the World Youth Day in 1995, an event coinciding Pope John Paul II's second visit to the country, a songwriting contest was held in late 1994 for the event's theme music. The prize was a trip for two to Rome (or the cash equivalent). Out of the 85 submitted entries, Trina Belamide's composition was among five finalists submitted to the Vatican, and her entry was selected as the winner. [1] The song was performed by Carelle Mangaliag and Jeff Arcilla [2] and was later interpreted by Jamie Rivera. [3] The song's inspiration was taken from the World Youth Day's theme "As the Father has sent me so I send you" (John 20:21). [1]

It also became the concluding song for the Papal Mass of Pope John Paul II on the final day of the event. [2]

In an interview with the Manila Bulletin and Rappler , Belamide admitted that she originally joined the songwriting contest in order to win the prize. She gave the prize to her parents, as they had not yet traveled to Europe. [1] [4]

Use after World Youth Day 1995

The song was performed multiple times during the state and apostolic visit of Pope Francis in the Philippines in January 2015. It was performed by Lyca Gairanod during the meeting with Filipino families at the Mall of Asia Arena on January 16 and Darren Espanto during the meeting with the Filipino youth at the University of Santo Tomas on January 18. [2] It was also used as the concluding song of the concluding Mass at the Quirino Grandstand on January 18. [5] Belamide, the composer of the song and also a member of the Ateneo Chamber Singers, became part of the choir that sang for the Mass, which was composed of choral groups from various dioceses in the Philippines.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">World Youth Day</span> International Catholic youth event

World Youth Day (WYD) is an event for young people organized by the Catholic Church that was initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1985, sometimes nicknamed in later years as the "Catholic Woodstock". Its concept has been influenced by the Light-Life Movement that has existed in Poland since the 1960s, where during summer camps Catholic young adults over 13 days of camp celebrated a "day of community". For the first celebration of WYD in 1986, bishops were invited to schedule an annual youth event to be held every Palm Sunday in their dioceses. It is celebrated at the diocesan level annually—in most places on Palm Sunday from 1986 to 2020, and from 2021 on Christ the King Sunday—and at the international level every two to three years at different locations. The 1995 World Youth Day closing Mass in the Philippines set a world record for the largest number of people gathered for a single religious event with 5 million attendees— a record surpassed when 6 million attended a Mass celebrated by Pope Francis in the Philippines 20 years later in 2015.
