Happy start to the week, friends of Hive Open Mic! It's a pleasure to greet you today and share a little of my music with you all. For week 308, we have the theme “Charity,” which gives us much to reflect on.
Probably the first thing that comes to mind when we think of the word Charity is that attitude of compassion and solidarity towards others, especially if they are going through a difficult time of suffering or adversity, and the truth is that this definition is not entirely far from reality. However, I have learned that the word charity comes from the Latin Caritas or Caritatis, and means unconditional love. The interesting thing about this etymology is that it relegates the conception of charity as mere solidarity to the superficial.
Theologically, charity is described to us as pure love, the kind we can only experience from our Savior Jesus Christ. This reminds me of my favorite commandment: Love one another as I have loved you. I understand that charity is more than a feeling; it is the willingness to act through selfless devotion to others. In other words, we must reflect that love with deeds that come from the heart rather than with mere words.
Today, I present to you the song Yo Tengo un Nuevo Amor (I Have a New Love), performed by Christian music singer Roberto Orellana, from his album Árbol sin Raíces (Tree Without Roots), released in 1993. This song allows us to express the discovery of a new love, one that is authentic, pure, and unconditional, one that we can only receive from God and that teaches us to be better people and to find true peace in our lives. I hope you enjoy this presentation.
¡Feliz inicio de semana, amigos de Hive Open Mic! Un placer saludarles este día y poder compartir un poco de mi música con todos ustedes. Para la semana 308, tenemos la temática “Caridad”, sobre la que hay mucho que reflexionar.
Probablemente lo primero que nos vienen a la cabeza cuando pensamos en la palabra Caridad sea esa actitud de compasión y solidaridad hacia el prójimo, especialmente si este está pasando por un momento difícil de sufrimiento o adversidad, y la verdad es que esta definición no está del todo alejada de la realidad. Sin embrago he aprendido que la palabra Caridad proviene del latín Caritas o Caritatis, y significa amor incondicional. Lo interesante de esta etimología es que deja relegada a lo superficial la concepción de Caridad como mera Solidaridad.
Teológicamente se nos describe la caridad como un amor puro, ese que solo podemos experimentar de parte de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo. Esto me hace evocar mi mandamiento favorito: Ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado. Entiendo que la caridad más que un sentimiento es la voluntad de actuar mediante la entrega desinteresada a los demás, es decir, debemos reflejar ese amor con hechos que nacen del corazón más que con simples palabras.
El día de hoy, les presento la canción Yo Tengo un Nuevo Amor, interpretada por el cantante de música cristiana Roberto Orellana, perteneciente a su álbum Árbol sin Raíces, lanzado en el año 1993. Esta canción nos permite expresar el descubrimiento de un nuevo amor, uno que es auténtico, puro e incondicional, ese que solo podemos recibir de parte de Dios y que nos enseña a ser mejores personas y a encontrar paz verdadera en nuestras vidas. Espero que esta presentación sea de su agrado.
Yo Tengo un Nuevo Amor
El corazón me late sin parar
Hay uno que me ha dicho
Te amo de verdad
Jesús mi amor
Y más que amor mi dulce paz
Jamás imagine poder hallar
Aquel que le dio a mi vida
Una razón para amar
Jesús mi amor
Y más que amor mi dulce paz
Gritarle al mundo entero lo que estoy sintiendo
Que ya encontré mi dulce amor
Jesús es toda mi Verdad
Y nunca yo me cansaré
De repetir hasta el final
El corazón me late sin parar
Hay uno que me ha dicho
Te amo de verdad
Jesús mi amor
Y más que amor mi dulce paz
Jamás imagine poder hallar
Aquel que le dio a mi vida
Una razón para amar
Jesús mi amor
Y más que amor mi dulce paz
Y más que amor mi dulce paz.
I Have a New Love
My heart beats without stopping
There is one who has told me
I truly love you
Jesus, my love
And more than love, my sweet peace
I never imagined I could find
The one who gave my life
A reason to love
Jesus, my love
And more than love, my sweet peace
Shouting to the whole world what I am feeling
That I have found my sweet love
Jesus is my whole Truth
And I will never tire
Of repeating until the end
My heart beats without stopping
There is one who has said to me
I truly love you
Jesus, my love
And more than love, my sweet peace
I never imagined I could find
The one who gave my life
A reason to love
Jesus, my love
And more than love, my sweet peace
And more than love, my sweet peace.

Hello dear Rosana! You've described it beautifully; that's the true meaning of charity, and from that unconditional love comes precisely everything that the average person believes the word means. This week's theme helps us remember that we must strengthen our love for others, which also leads us to help them, and the song you sing seems to be an example of perfect love, very much in line with the idea we want to project in the community. Congratulations on your great talent, always admirable!...

Hi Jesús!
I thought I should emphasize the deeper meaning of the word, since it explains many things we are capable of doing for others and that often we don't know where those good intentions and actions come from.
Thanks for your always motivating words. A big hug for you.

Excelente tema como nos tienes acostumbrados y en esta oportunidad me gustó muchísimo la reflexión que hiciste para presentarnos el tema, la caridad como un amor puro e incondicional, ese mismo que podemos experimentar al conocer el amor de Dios para con nosotros.
Muchas gracias, me alegra que te haya gustado tanto la reflexión como la presentación.
