Since the founding of the Emmanuel Community
in the 1970s, its members have regularly gathered
to pray, praise and celebrate the Lord with joy and
to live the charisms of the Community - Adoration,
Compassion and Evangelization- in accordance with
the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Seeking songs to express the joy of
faith, at first the Community drew on the repertory
of music from the American Charismatic Renewal and
form that of Father Andre Gouzes.Very rapidly, however,
several members felt a call to compose original songs
that specifically touched on the Community's charisms.
Thus, the famous 'green book' entitled 'He Is Alive'
was born. Today, 'He Is Alive' has been translated
into multiple languages and its music is used in dioceses
around the world (particularly in France). A team
of lay people, priests, and consecrated brothers and
sisters is entrusted with collecting, translating
and adaptating the music for use in a variety of liturgical
settings and for other occasions of prayer and worship.
The team also organizes musical training
sessions for both the members of the Emmanuel Community,
and for all those involved in liturgical animation.
The team oversees the musical and liturgical animation
of all the missions of the Emmanuel Community, including
the Summer Sessions in Paray Le Monial, the International
Congresses of Evangelization, and various international
Youth Forums, etc.
