That song, borrowed from the Mexican folklore, expresses the joy of living and exalts the beauties of creation. However we must say that if we have come to use that expression, it is rather by coincidence, because of a song titled " De Colores ! " which was very popular at the time of the first Cursillo on the island of Majorca (a beautiful island in the Mediterranean sea where spring is a real enchantment of colours). The " De Colores " calls forth this joy caused by the discovery of God’s love and the presence of Christ in ourselves and in others. Everyone of us has a different colour, each one reflects an aspect of Christ. Indeed, as the prism decomposes white light in a scale of various colours, so do those who are around us. After this experience, life is not the same we have a new vision of the world, we act differently and we discover, in the Christian community, the many faces of Christ. In the same way, the realization that we are being loved by God in a way that is unparalleled and unconditional, creates in our inner self, a feeling which is like an incredible rainbow. For lovers, everyday life loses its sadness, the sun shines, life is beautiful, and we see it through rose-coloured spectacles. This is the case of a person who discovers that he or she is loved by the very person that he or she loves. If there are sad moments in life, there are also others when we see everything in colour. De Colores is a Spanish expression which means in colours. ![]()
