Ephrem Feeley’s A joy for all the earth is the official hymn for the World Meeting of Families 2018, taking in place in Dublin in August. Inspired by the document Amoris Laetitia – the Joy of Love – written in 2016 by Pope Francis following the Synods on the Family held the preceding two years, the text sets well-known words from 1 Corinthians 13, with a simple but strong people’s refrain. It was a good choice for our annual grand gathering of the Diocesan family.
