DIOS DE AMORES: Ecuadorian Hymn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Text: Aurelio Espinosa P. S.J. Music: Belisario Peña P. In the last few weeks, news has reached us again and again about the terrible increase in crime in Ecuador, the first country consecrated to the Heart of Jesus. In that sense, we wanted to record this meaningful song, which for the Ecuadorian people is a kind of “national religious hymn“. In the current emergency situation, we recall the prayer campaign “Break the rod of the violent“ that we undertook in 2011, that bore visible fruits. At that time, after many people in Ecuador and in other countries joined in this prayer for a year, it was possible to see that, thanks to God, the number of serious crimes decreased significantly. The current emergency situation leads us now to invite our listeners to join in this simple prayer: Loving heavenly Father, we come to You full of confidence, firmly believing that you will come to the aid of the Ecuadorian people.
