By Arturo Carapella

Five years after his last work ‘Più cuore nelle mani’ (‘More Heart in those Hands’), and with the imminent opening of the jubilee year, Father Sergio is preparing the release of a new record and has preceded it with the single ‘Padre di Misericordia’ (Father of Mercy’), which in recent days has already been on the Web and on his official facebook page. The work is accomompanied by a video.

The Word, like an act of love, does not die but lives in the wish for encounter where an embrace and weeping proceed from Forgiveness. The son returns home, recognises evil, frees his soul from his body: no longer in the mud and the illusion of living, but totally attracted by the merciful Love of the Father. This certainty of the author is connected to the colour and the warmth of Mercy; a vitality of the soul that is never held back by the doubt of rejection but, rather, nourished by awareness of the immensity of Love..

A language of daily life, where notes and words are shared and enriched with suggestions and infinite echoes, which correspond to the totality of life…

The message of ‘Father of Mercy’ is constantly imprinted with an impetus towards a wish to move upwards and fullness: a linear dynamic of love where words and music push towards a dimension that comforts and placates: the certainty of savouring peace, of living it, of showing it and of beholding it…the return of the Father is ‘the feast’.

It is possible to purchase the work ‘Padre di Misericordia’ on iTunes and at the principal digital stores
