Gael then pointed out that his experience with the fragility of human life marked a before and after in his history. “It is not easy, but one must make a leap of faith and seek the sense of pain and suffering,” he said.
This new production begins, according to Gael, in the Women’s Penitentiary Center (CPF) of Santiago de Chile, when in one of his visits – in which he encourages prayers with his songs – he witnessed “of the deep spiritual desire for women deprived of liberty”.
“It was there that the HNA. Nelly León, Capellana of the CPF and recognized for her tireless pastoral work, shared a beautiful and bold dream: that the chapel of the penitentiary enclosure was declared a retirement door, thus allowing the inmates to access the plenary indulgence in this year of grace,” he said.
In December 2024, Pope Francis opened the second holy door of the Jubileo de la Esperanza 2025 within the prison of the new Rebibbia complex in Rome, in A gesture loaded with symbolism.
Marcela says he composed The retirement door Inspired by this conversation with the HNA. Leon “and inspired by the Holy Spirit.” He says that “it is a song that reflects the hope, grace and the desire for redemption that is lived even in the most forgotten places.”
“The song was born behind the walls of a prison and was then adapted to a version that allows all the people of God to make it its. Thus it becomes a universal song, a meringue with a contagious and cheerful melody, which invites us to conversion and let us transform by God into her infinite mercy,” adds the Chilean singer -songwriter.
The song is already Available on all digital platforms. “This is a reminder that God always awaits us with open arms and that his mercy is for all.” The Catholic artist concluded.
