Love Above All, the recently released album by Javier F. Chento, brings together 18 Christian songs performed entirely a cappella: 15 in English and 3 in Spanish. Presented as the first volume of songs rooted in Vincentian spirituality, the collection moves through Scripture, personal prayer, praise, discipleship, friendship, social commitment, and service to people who are poor.
A joyful children’s set of songs rooted in faith, service, and Vincentian love, inviting young hearts to shine through kindness, mercy, peace, prayer, inclusion, and small acts that help build a better world.
Inspired by the Gospel story of the rich young man (Mark 10:17–22), this song invites us to ask what we may be holding too tightly in life. It encourages us to look honestly at our hopes, fears, and attachments, and to discover the freedom that opens when we dare to follow Jesus more fully on the road ahead.
A call to let the Holy Spirit guide every step of life, transforming hearts and renewing faith. Rooted in the Vincentian tradition of Saint Vincent de Paul and Saint Louise de Marillac, it invites the Vincentian Family to listen to the Spirit, trust God’s grace, and serve the poor with compassion, courage, and fidelity.
Louise’s path was not easy. She experienced periods of uncertainty, illness, and deep personal struggle. Yet these difficulties did not close her heart; rather, they opened it more deeply to God.
Throughout the history of the Church, moments of renewal have often begun with young hearts that were willing to listen to God’s call and respond with courage. “On a Mission” echoes this deep truth: young people are not merely waiting for their turn—they are already being called to participate in God’s work here and now.
“What a Friend We Have in Jesus” is more than music. It is friendship turned into melody, prayer set to rhythm, and mission given a voice. Through these songs, young people are invited not only to listen—but to walk with Jesus and become witnesses of His hope in today’s world.
Christ’s Cross is not confined to the past; it is present wherever human dignity is wounded. Yet the Resurrection proclaims that love is stronger than suffering. Christians are called to recognize Christ in the vulnerable and become living signs of hope through compassion, solidarity, and faithful action.
The world is experiencing the highest number of armed conflicts since World War II: around 60, according to the most recent data.
“Servants of the Humble Christ,” by Javier F. Chento, is a Vincentian hymn album honoring saints of the Vincentian Family and celebrating their mission of charity. Through songs of prayer, unity, and service, it invites communities to follow Christ humbly present in the poor and to live the Gospel with love.
The episode involving Liam confronts us with a deeply unsettling and unmistakably Gospel-centered question: what have we done to the stranger who came to us as a child?
We Are Friends is a children’s album by Javier F. Chento that joyfully shares Vincentian values through simple, engaging songs. Focused on friendship, prayer, family, kindness, care for creation, and loving like Jesus, it helps children discover faith through music, joy, and everyday life.
