City in Amman and in the presence of Archbishop Maroun Laham, Latin Patriarchal Vicar in Jordan and Archbishop Yasser Al Ayash Bishop of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, and Bishop Salim Sayegh. The ceremony was attended by a number of priests and nuns, and a wide Jordanian audience.
The ceremony began with the presentation of both media representatives: Marilyn Chakib and Ala Abbasi, followed by a short scene demonstrating human life, how it is separated by worldly preoccupations from the relationship with the crucified Christ for humanity, and how man returns to him after the life of sin and imprisonment.
Upon completion of performing the Album hymns, Patriarch Twal ascended to the Palace of Culture Theater, which was adorned with the images of the utopians John Paul II and Mother Teresa, and officially announced the launch of the Album “How I Desire In”. In his speech, he said “The choir members enjoy the spirit of faith, enthusiasm, and beauty carried to all, we must remain steadfast in faith despite the voice of pain and conflict experienced by the Church in our time, steadfastness in faith is what helps us and strengthen us in our calamities.
At the end of the ceremony, the choir presented its plaques to Patriarch Fouad Twal and Mr. Wael Sleiman for his efforts in helping the choir, and thanked the media anchor Mr. Alaa Abbasi and all those who contributed to the success of this concert including decor design, expression movement performance and photography.
It is worth mentioning that the name of the choir is derived from the idea of love emanating from the hand of Christ, which is challenged by the spear that is the unmatched love to mankind, and “How much I desire to walk you towards heaven.”
