The song is a collaborative effort and was co-written by Diana Macalintal, with acclaimed artist Josh Blakesley serving as both producer and featured performer alongside Díaz.
This opportunity marks a significant milestone in Díaz’s journey with RECongress, which began in 2015. “Writing the theme song for this year’s RECongress is a dream come true,” he shared. “It’s an incredible privilege to contribute to an event that has profoundly shaped my faith and connected me with a vibrant community of believers.”
The song’s theme holds a deeply personal resonance for Díaz, particularly in light of the challenges faced by communities impacted by the devastating fires in Los Angeles. In September, Díaz and his family experienced the loss of their home in a house fire and are still in the process of rebuilding.
“During this time, we’ve been surrounded by acts of kindness and compassion that have strengthened our hope,” he reflected. “This song is a testament to the healing power of love and a call to action for all of us to bring God’s compassion to a world in need.”
He desires that “We Have Been Called/Estamos Llamados” inspires the thousands who will gather at RECongress 2025 to embrace the mission of service and solidarity in their communities and beyond.
The theme song makes its debut during the event, Díaz invites all to lift their voices together in hope and unity.
