(ANS - Rome)- The Seventh International Congress of Mary Help of Christians in Turin and Colle Don Bosco from 6 to 9 August is now imminent. For the occasion an official anthem has been composed, inspired by the theme of the Congress: "Hic domus mea mea inde glory. From the house of Mary to our homes. "

The title of the hymn is Ausiliatrice delle famiglie (Helper of families). The verses and refrain are based on the biblical account of the Presentation of Jesus in the temple, where God's promises are fulfilled in the coming together of generations, represented by Simeon and Anna. It is a story of grace that continues even to the present day in the journey of faith and the work of education that started in Valdocco, the house of Mary, who now wishes to radiate her glory on families: "At your house there is the wind of the Spirit: you spoke, O Mother, to the heart of Don Bosco, from your house your message pours out like dew that refreshes families."

Words and music are by Fr Domenico Macchetta, priest, composer and musician, who has been living since the early eighties in Bairo Canavese (TO) at the Fraternity of Nazareth, a religious community founded and led by him. The arrangement for the Italian, Spanish and English versions is the work of Marco Falubba, and the Portuguese version is by theCanção Nova Community, one of the groups of the Salesian Family.

The text, the score and the MP version are available on the website of the Congress, http://www.congressomariaausiliatrice2015.org
