About Naranu M Rie

"Naranu M Rie" is a deeply reverent Igbo Communion hymn composed by Jude Nnam. The title translates to a gentle invitation to "Take and Eat," echoing Christ's words at the Last Supper. The song carries a warm, beckoning spirit, calling the children of God to approach the altar and receive the Bread of Life. Its melody is both solemn and uplifting, perfectly matching the sacredness of the Eucharistic feast.

In the choir loft, this piece is a favorite for the Communion procession. The verses beautifully narrate the mystery of salvation—from Christ coming down from heaven and suffering for humanity, to offering Himself as the living bread ("Achicha di ndu") and the sacrificial Lamb ("Nwaturu e jiri chu aja"). As the congregation steps forward to receive, the choir's harmonious call of "Jesu n'akpo gi" (Jesus is calling you) creates a profound moment of personal reflection and spiritual nourishment.
