Bandla Elikulo lonke by St. Wendelin's Catholic Parish: Song Review
Bandla Elikulo lonke, which means "The whole church", is a joyful and triumphant song by the Mzansi Catholic Hymns, a South African Catholic choir. The song celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, who left his tomb and rose from the dead with great power. The song also praises Jesus as the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who ascended into heaven and will come again to judge the living and the dead. The song is sung in Zulu, one of the official languages of South Africa.
The song is based on the Catholic faith, which professes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who became man, suffered, died, and rose again for our salvation. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus Christ is the head of the church, which is his body, and that he entrusted his authority to Peter and his successors, the popes. The Catholic Church also believes that Jesus Christ instituted seven sacraments as signs and instruments of his grace, and that he gave his mother Mary a special role in his plan of salvation.
The song has a lively and festive melody, accompanied by drums and other instruments. The choir sings with harmony and enthusiasm, creating a festive atmosphere. The song reflects the vibrant and joyful spirit of the South African Catholics, who have a rich and diverse cultural heritage, influenced by various ethnic groups, languages, and traditions. The song also expresses the universal and catholic nature of the church, which is composed of people from all nations, races, and backgrounds, united by their faith in Jesus Christ.
The song is a great example of how music can be used to express one's faith and identity, as well as to honor one's Savior and Lord. The song is also a testimony of how the Catholic Church has grown and spread in Africa, despite the challenges and difficulties it has faced. The song is a source of inspiration and encouragement for all Catholics, especially those who are celebrating Easter, the most important feast in the liturgical year.
