Saturday Marks 30th Anniversary of Hit Song "We Are One Body" | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Saturday marks the 30 year anniversary of the hit song "We Are One Body." The song was written and performed by Dana Scallon. The song was inspired by the words of Pope John Paul II and performed live at World Youth Day 1993 in Denver, Colorado for the Pontiff himself. As she looks back 30 years ago, Scallon discusses whether she could ever have imagined the impact this song would have on the global Catholic Church and on her personally. She tells us what inspired the song in the first place and how she went from writing it to performing it live in front of Pope John Paul II. There's a beautiful picture of Scallon with the Pope in Denver from WYD 1993 and she ultimately performed for him 6 times. She tells us about the bond the two of them created and the impact that relationship had on her. Scallon fills us in on what musical projects she is currently working on. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
