I recommend that you listen to the song first…. 🙂
This is one more of the ballads of the Album. “The Ballad of the Eternal Guardians” Available on RitmoDJ.com and SoundCloud.
Synopsis:
The life of Javier, a completely atheist and pragmatic man, changes unexpectedly when his wife, Lucia, is diagnosed with terminal cancer and, after months of struggle, receives the tragic announcement from the doctors that there is no hope. But at the darkest moment, a recurring dream opens an unexpected door in Javier’s mind.
Development:
Every night, Javier dreams of a luminous and serene figure who appears to him as the archangel Gabriel. This celestial being conveys a message: “Lucia is going to be healed by the Holy Spirit. She is a good woman and has a long way to go”. In his skepticism, Javier dismisses the dream, considering it only a product of his own pain and desire to save his wife.
However, the dream repeats itself, night after night, always with the same words. Each time, the message becomes clearer and Gabriel seems even more real. The persistence of this vision begins to disturb him. Little by little, his security in his beliefs falters. Driven by the need to understand if there is something beyond what he can explain, Javier plucks up courage and enters a church, determined to speak to a priest.
The Revelation:
In the silence of a confessional, Javier confesses his dreams to the priest. To his surprise, the priest repeats the same words he had heard in the dream: “Lucia is going to be healed by the Holy Spirit. She is a good woman and has a long way to go”. When Javier opens his eyes and looks around, he discovers that he is alone in the confessional. In his amazement, he feels a presence, an immense peace, and decides to approach the altar and pray. It is his first prayer in his entire life.
The Miracle:
The next day, Javier returns to the clinic, where Lucia’s prognosis had been immovable. As soon as he enters his wife’s room, a doctor stops him. With a mixture of surprise and reverence, he announces: “Your wife is improving, the tests are amazing; something like this is completely unheard of.
As Javier tries to process what he hears, the doctor begins to fade before his eyes. Only a glow remains, and in that halo of light, Javier distinguishes huge, radiant, angel-like wings.
Conclusion:
Back in Lucia’s room, Javier finds her awake and smiling. From that day on, Javier cannot explain what happened logically, but he does not need to. His faith is born, and with it, a new life for him and his beloved Lucia.
This story is about the struggle between faith and reason, and the way a supernatural event can open the heart of someone who never thought he would believe in something beyond the tangible. Gabriel’s message, repeated night after night, symbolizes the perseverance of the divine in searching for the human being, and Javier’s experience shows how, sometimes, hope can come from the least expected places.
