A winner has been chosen in the international Dehonian Jubilee hymn contest: Fr. Simão Pedro Claudino dos Santos, SCJ, of the South Brazilian Province. The title of the hymn: “He lives in us.”
The original text, in Portuguese, seeks to present aspects of the founder’s life and his experience of faith, whose source is the contemplation of the Heart of Jesus, which gave rise to the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Fr. Simão currently serves in Ji-Paraná, Rondônia, in the Amazon region; he has also ministered with Dehonians in Paraguay.
In addition to the original version of the hymn in Portuguese, the International Commission of the Dehonian Jubilee offers the lyrics and score of the adapted versions in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
