This video has a little story...
A man from the United States sent me, Br. Elijah, a link to a Georgian chant, sung by some little nuns from this country... He told me that Harpa Dei \"had to learn this chant\", and added that it was the most beautiful song he had ever heard. As far as he had been able to find out, it was a lullaby, and in some source he had read that the Virgin Mary would have sung it to the Child Jesus.
When I heard this song, I immediately perceived its sublime beauty, characteristic of Georgian music. I then remembered that, when I was with the monks in the monastery of Valaam in Russia, someone had said: \"In heaven, it will be the Georgians who sing\".
In fact, this is not the first time we have encountered the wonderful music of Georgia. We have recorded and published the Georgian song Shen khar venakhi before.
But... is a lullaby appropriate for Harpa Dei, which normally sings Gregorian chant or other musical traditions, focusing properly on sacred chant? Is it appropriate for them to perform a chant whose text reflects the tender way in which a mother speaks to her child? And what could be shown in a video? But wasn't there a story that the Virgin Mary would have sung it to the baby Jesus? Well, the reason would immediately say: \"Well yes, a nice legend\".
However, the beauty of this song would not let me go....
And then this thought came to me: Couldn't it be a song that is not sung for just one child? What about a lullaby for our \"favourites\": the unborn children, who are still in their mother's womb? Couldn't the beauty of this song touch the mothers or fathers, to move their hearts to love and accept the child in the womb? And let the children know that we are waiting for them!
And what about the story that Our Lady would have sung this lullaby to the Child Jesus? And this Jesus has given her to us all as Mother, and we are all called to become children of God through the Child of Bethlehem! Could it be that she can sing this song together with us for all of us?
And this is how the idea of the song came about.
Now it is a lullaby for all children: for the unborn, but also for those who have not experienced the love of a mother, as well as for those who did have the joy of growing up surrounded by love....
Thanks to the Mother of God, this song has been extended to all children, and thanks to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it is accompanied by a strong priestly blessing and an authoritative prayer, so that it may touch the hearts of mothers and fathers who are in danger of not welcoming the life entrusted to them.
If you believe it, it will now be the song of the Virgin Mary, which she sings together with us with the intention of consoling and saving her children.
Therefore, our great request as Harpa Dei is that you accompany the song IAVNANA with your prayers, so that it brings blessing, and that you spread it. Heaven and the children will thank you for it!
