Yeah, beautiful.

I'm starting to understand why you love

This so much, andrea.
00:02:06.816 --> 00:02:08.851
This is fantastic.
00:02:08.851 --> 00:02:10.153
I began to do this when i was eight years older.
00:02:10.153 --> 00:02:15.091
I was a child and i was in college and my dream
00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:20.496
Was to come back at home to ride horses.
00:02:20.496 --> 00:02:23.666
Wow.
00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:25.401
Because my grandfather dying, before he died, he
00:02:25.401 --> 00:02:30.139
Said i would like to give a present to my nephew a
00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:35.578
Little horse.
00:02:35.578 --> 00:02:38.047
And when he died, when he died, my father, first
00:02:38.047 --> 00:02:42.452
Thing he did has been to go immediately to buy a
00:02:42.452 --> 00:02:47.323
Horse for me.
00:02:47.323 --> 00:02:48.791
Oh my goodness.
00:02:48.791 --> 00:02:50.360
And i was eight years old.
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.630
It's really a interesting thing though, but laurie
00:02:53.630 --> 00:02:58.368
And i were reading last night about saul and the
00:02:58.368 --> 00:03:05.975
Moment that he was knocked off his horse and
00:03:05.975 --> 00:03:11.581
Became saul-- became paul.
00:03:11.581 --> 00:03:14.517
And just reading that part of scripture last
00:03:14.517 --> 00:03:19.222
Night and being here now is kind of a profound
00:03:19.222 --> 00:03:24.327
Moment, and it makes you reflect on ultimately
00:03:24.327 --> 00:03:31.334
What was that message that paul carried to the
00:03:31.334 --> 00:03:35.538
World and he carried it,
00:03:35.538 --> 00:03:37.073
And in a lot of ways we're 2000 years later
00:03:37.073 --> 00:03:42.011
Carrying the same story on the same road.
00:03:42.011 --> 00:03:45.715
Yeah. he met god and he became blind for many days.
00:03:45.715 --> 00:03:52.722
And then god spoke to a man named ananias to go
00:03:52.722 --> 00:03:58.361
And to pray for paul that his eyes were opened and
00:03:58.361 --> 00:04:03.166
He became the one that wrote most of the
00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:05.968
New testament.
00:04:05.968 --> 00:04:07.837
And so his story was a very simple message,
00:04:07.837 --> 00:04:12.542
Andrea, that salvation is a free gift from god
00:04:12.542 --> 00:04:18.114
And you receive this by belief.
00:04:18.114 --> 00:04:21.384
So the goodness of god is yours when you believe.
00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:25.221
And he, paul would've come to little towns on
00:04:25.221 --> 00:04:30.693
Little roads like this, and he would've said,
00:04:30.693 --> 00:04:33.229
Believe in the baptism of jesus, believe in the
00:04:33.229 --> 00:04:38.134
Baptism of the holy spirit.
00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:40.269
He would've evangelized much, but the thing
00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:44.340
Andrea, that people need to know is that god's
00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:49.078
Love is for everybody, and that his love is for
00:04:49.078 --> 00:04:52.081
Anyone who believes.
00:04:52.081 --> 00:04:53.950
And that's what the apostle paul would've

It was supposed to be just a walk.

No, it's true, like a walk.

But immediately afterwards i realized

One of the songs that will be performed. you say

Believe without having seen.

This is our privilege, therefore it's faith,
00:09:48.611 --> 00:09:53.082
Without having to use our five senses, which are so
00:09:53.082 --> 00:09:56.352
Few, so fallacious. i think that everything
00:09:56.352 --> 00:10:01.557
Derives from each person's ability to look
00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:04.860
Within himself and to recognize his own
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:08.097
Fragility, his own limitation, and therefore
00:10:08.097 --> 00:10:11.801
To reach a level of humility that man has
00:10:11.801 --> 00:10:15.404

Your song, i believe , seems to be taking this
00:10:33.155 --> 00:10:37.159
Project and not making it local for this part of
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:42.732
Italy or even nationalistic, but now

00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:02.418
Let's start by saying that just like music is a
00:11:02.418 --> 00:11:06.689
Gift, also the words that are written for a song
00:11:06.689 --> 00:11:11.694
Destined to send messages. as in the case
00:11:11.694 --> 00:11:15.097

Carries an important message.
00:11:23.906 --> 00:11:30.012
And whoever writes such lyrics naturally imagines
00:11:30.012 --> 00:11:33.582
A better world, hopes of a better world, dreams of
00:11:33.582 --> 00:11:37.753
A better world.
00:11:37.753 --> 00:11:40.589
That is why such lyrics are written that suggest
00:11:40.589 --> 00:11:45.127
To man to go forward on the path that leads him
00:11:45.127 --> 00:11:48.397

Even from at the point of view of the lyrics,
00:12:08.217 --> 00:12:11.687

01:43:36.400 --> 01:43:42.706
We, you know, did our best to photograph everything and this
01:43:42.706 --> 01:43:48.378
Beautiful movie is now done.
01:43:48.378 --> 01:43:50.847
The viewers will be real interested to know what you
01:43:50.847 --> 01:43:54.384
Think about the project now that it's complete.
01:43:54.384 --> 01:43:58.121
What are your memories of the journey?
01:43:58.121 --> 01:44:02.492
Andrea bocelli: the memories of this travel, of this journey are
01:44:02.492 --> 01:44:06.096
Many and they are also intense memories.
01:44:06.096 --> 01:44:09.900
Probably the most exciting and beautiful moments were the
01:44:09.900 --> 01:44:13.970
Departure and the arrival.
01:44:13.970 --> 01:44:16.340
The departure because the blessing from the holy father.
01:44:16.340 --> 01:44:20.510
It is something that cannot be described because seeing the
01:44:20.510 --> 01:44:24.247
Holy father in front of us blessing this bizarre initiative
01:44:24.247 --> 01:44:28.251
Of ours as we stood there in front of our horses about to
01:44:28.251 --> 01:44:32.289
Depart, the feelings, the emotions, it really is something
01:44:32.289 --> 01:44:36.993
That cannot be easily described.
01:44:36.993 --> 01:44:59.116
Andrea: but also the arrival home was just as exciting after
01:45:00.250 --> 01:45:04.821
All these kilometers on horseback, which was a struggle,
01:45:04.821 --> 01:45:08.392
To find our friends gathered at our home who welcomed us with a
01:45:08.392 --> 01:45:12.329
Standing ovation was very beautiful.
01:45:12.329 --> 01:45:17.768
Male: yeah, hey!
01:45:17.768 --> 01:45:25.809
Andrea: our journey was a little different than most who traveled
01:45:25.809 --> 01:45:29.212
Via francigena.
01:45:29.212 --> 01:45:30.781
For centuries, most pilgrims journey to reach the center of
01:45:30.781 --> 01:45:34.951
Christianity, which is rome.
01:45:34.951 --> 01:45:37.220
However, we traveled the via francigena backwards, starting
01:45:37.220 --> 01:45:42.058
In rome, only to journey to arrive back at our home.
01:45:42.058 --> 01:45:46.196
We have so many beautiful memories, especially the guests
01:45:46.196 --> 01:45:46.263
We have so many beautiful memories, especially the guests
01:45:47.364 --> 01:45:50.567
Who accompanied us who brought beautiful moments of music,
01:45:50.567 --> 01:45:54.271
Discussion, and even deep topics surrounding faith.
01:45:54.271 --> 01:46:02.946
Rory feek: whether you know, andrea's music or not or his
01:46:04.080 --> 01:46:07.751
Story or not,
01:46:07.751 --> 01:46:09.219
For me, it was just, you know, it was--it was inspiring,
01:46:09.219 --> 01:46:15.525
Everything about it.
01:46:15.525 --> 01:46:32.342
Amy grant: well, i was captured from the very beginning when
01:46:33.477 --> 01:46:37.414
Andrea bocelli spoke about silence and how important that
01:46:37.414 --> 01:46:42.252
Is and that silence makes him feel maybe the presence
01:46:42.252 --> 01:46:47.057
Of eternity.
01:46:47.057 --> 01:46:48.391
I just experienced this movie as a real gift of slowing down,
01:46:48.391 --> 01:46:53.230
Appreciating the beauty of the planet--especially italy--and
01:46:53.230 --> 01:46:57.133
The gift of music.
01:46:57.133 --> 01:46:58.502
The pacing was the gift to me.
01:46:58.502 --> 01:47:00.070
They were on horseback because they were creating a pace of
01:47:00.070 --> 01:47:03.940
Living and they just invited us into that pace and it
01:47:03.940 --> 01:47:07.344
Was beautiful.
01:47:07.344 --> 01:47:12.849
Matt: so andrea, i want to have you help me explain something to
01:47:12.849 --> 01:47:19.890
The audience.
01:47:19.890 --> 01:47:21.391
The via francigena are a series of ancient roads.
01:47:21.391 --> 01:47:26.162
Is that correct?
01:47:26.162 --> 01:47:27.964
Andrea: the via francigena is a historic route that leads from
01:47:27.964 --> 01:47:32.435
Canterbury to rome.
01:47:32.435 --> 01:47:34.404
Thousands and thousands of pilgrims have traveled it over
01:47:34.404 --> 01:47:37.974
The centuries.
01:47:37.974 --> 01:47:39.309
The natural symbols all along the villa francigena inspire so
01:47:39.309 --> 01:47:43.980
Many pilgrims to journey to rome from all over the world.
01:47:43.980 --> 01:47:48.151
Matt: they are ancient roads.
01:47:48.151 --> 01:47:49.886
We were on the ancient via francigena.
01:47:49.886 --> 01:47:53.990
What's interesting about this film, "the journey" is what paul
01:47:53.990 --> 01:47:59.262
And peter, the apostle paul, the apostle peter would have come on
01:47:59.262 --> 01:48:04.100
Those ancient roads in italy, and they would have been
01:48:04.100 --> 01:48:08.171
Carrying a message of the death, the burial, and the resurrection
01:48:08.171 --> 01:48:12.309
Of christ.
01:48:12.309 --> 01:48:13.677
And we seem to be doing the same thing now, 2000 years later,
01:48:13.677 --> 01:48:18.548
We're sharing that same message.
01:48:18.548 --> 01:48:21.351
Your thoughts on helping us proclaim that very
01:48:21.351 --> 01:48:26.489
Important matter?
01:48:26.489 --> 01:48:28.658
Andrea: saint peter and paul, 2,000 years ago arrived in rome.
01:48:28.658 --> 01:48:34.698
They laid the foundations for transforming what was a pagan
01:48:34.698 --> 01:48:38.868
State into a christian state.
01:48:38.868 --> 01:48:41.571
This was made possible because so many ordinary citizens were
01:48:41.571 --> 01:48:46.276
Stripped of happiness.
01:48:46.276 --> 01:48:47.944
They faced death and many of them became a martyrs because
01:48:47.944 --> 01:48:52.248
They embraced the christian message.
01:48:52.248 --> 01:48:54.618
Many of them who were forced into the arenas to face their
01:48:54.618 --> 01:48:58.221
Death did so while singing, the reason they could sing in this
01:48:58.221 --> 01:49:02.892
Way was because the passion of those who brought them
01:49:02.892 --> 01:49:06.630
The message was so strong that it had an irresistible power.
01:49:06.630 --> 01:49:12.369
For this reason, the stronger our faith, the closer it truly
01:49:12.369 --> 01:49:17.540
Brings us to god and the more powerful our message is.
01:49:17.540 --> 01:49:31.688
We met people for the first time who became our friends along
01:49:32.822 --> 01:49:37.894
The way.
01:49:37.894 --> 01:49:39.262
All of this while riding a horse, which has always been one
01:49:39.262 --> 01:49:44.200
Of my passions since i was a boy.
01:49:44.200 --> 01:49:46.670
Matt: let me ask you, veronica, this was a journey that was
01:49:46.670 --> 01:49:53.443
Meant to be one of faith.
01:49:53.443 --> 01:49:57.113
How was your faith strengthened or challenged on this journey?
01:49:57.113 --> 01:50:02.419
Veronica bocelli: the idea, the fact that we left, we just
01:50:02.419 --> 01:50:05.522
Started from the beginning was with the holy father and
01:50:05.522 --> 01:50:08.692
The benediction.
01:50:08.692 --> 01:50:10.026
And of course, "the journey" represents the journey of life
01:50:10.026 --> 01:50:12.062
In general because you face incredible moment, sadness, also
01:50:12.062 --> 01:50:17.233
The fear of doing things, you know, the accident that
01:50:17.233 --> 01:50:20.170
May happen.
01:50:20.170 --> 01:50:21.538
So it's exactly the representation of what the
01:50:21.538 --> 01:50:24.174
Life is.
01:50:24.174 --> 01:50:25.842
Faith is something that you need to think about.
01:50:25.842 --> 01:50:28.411
You cannot be distracted from whatever happened around you.
01:50:28.411 --> 01:50:31.648
So this was a way to be concentrated only in something
01:50:31.648 --> 01:50:36.152
So different than what you usually do that allow you to
01:50:36.152 --> 01:50:38.755
Think about what you not necessary every day, every day.
01:50:38.755 --> 01:50:42.425
Is this your first things?
01:50:42.425 --> 01:50:44.094
And it has to be that way.
01:50:44.094 --> 01:50:45.462
So it was a chance to really focus on something so different
01:50:45.462 --> 01:50:49.499
That allow you to think so and so do whatever is needed and
01:50:49.499 --> 01:50:52.535
You, you need to keep in your heart every day.
01:50:52.535 --> 01:50:56.906
Kathy lee gifford: i just finished watching "the journey."
01:50:56.906 --> 01:50:59.743
Something you can't just sit there and not be deeply, deeply
01:50:59.743 --> 01:51:04.147
Moved by.
01:51:04.147 --> 01:51:05.515
For me, it was a magnificent combination of extraordinary
01:51:05.515 --> 01:51:08.218
Cinematography of the beautiful land of italy and the
01:51:08.218 --> 01:51:13.156
Magnificent voice of andrea and so many great,
01:51:13.156 --> 01:51:15.892
Wonderful artists.
01:51:15.892 --> 01:51:17.293
And more than anything, for me, it was a tremendously beautiful
01:51:17.293 --> 01:51:21.898
Expression of the divinity of our savior, who is the creator
01:51:21.898 --> 01:51:26.269
Of all beauty, and the humanity of this man who so understands
01:51:26.269 --> 01:51:31.441
That from the core of himself, that we are dust, but we are
01:51:31.441 --> 01:51:36.946
Beloved dust.
01:51:36.946 --> 01:51:39.115
Laurie crouch: i think sometimes when we look back at something
01:51:39.115 --> 01:51:42.452
That we did, this journey that we did, you guys did together, i
01:51:42.452 --> 01:51:48.925
Know, andrea, that you mentioned in your book, the companions
01:51:48.925 --> 01:51:53.696
That you met along the way, like hope and forgiveness.
01:51:53.696 --> 01:51:57.133
[laughs]
01:51:57.133 --> 01:51:58.635
Talk a little bit about that.
01:51:58.635 --> 01:52:01.137
Andrea: during this journey, we had many opportunities to
01:52:01.137 --> 01:52:05.041
Discuss the topic of faith.
01:52:05.041 --> 01:52:07.877
Unfortunately, this doesn't happen every day, because we are
01:52:07.877 --> 01:52:12.215
Distracted by thousands of things.
01:52:12.215 --> 01:52:15.218
We also journeyed with people who have had important
01:52:15.218 --> 01:52:18.788
Experiences related to faith, with people who have told us
01:52:18.788 --> 01:52:22.892
Extremely touching stories.
01:52:22.892 --> 01:52:25.562
All of this was certainly a positive experience
01:52:25.562 --> 01:52:29.465
And influence.
01:52:29.465 --> 01:52:31.067
While we were making this physical journey, in a way, it
01:52:31.067 --> 01:52:35.071
Symbolized life itself.
01:52:35.071 --> 01:52:37.774
There were very beautiful moments, sunny days and rainy
01:52:37.774 --> 01:52:42.245
Days, the road was sometimes difficult to travel with horses
01:52:42.245 --> 01:52:47.183
Because it was very bumpy.
01:52:47.183 --> 01:52:49.519
So there were difficulties similar to how we encounter
01:52:49.519 --> 01:52:53.590
Everyday life.
01:52:53.590 --> 01:52:55.425
But then there were sections of the trip, easy to navigate and
01:52:55.425 --> 01:53:01.097
Also very beautiful from a panoramic point of view.
01:53:01.097 --> 01:53:06.069
We visited places that, although they were relatively close to
01:53:06.069 --> 01:53:10.874
Home, but we had never visited them before.
01:53:10.874 --> 01:53:14.711
So this, too, was an important enrichment.
01:53:14.711 --> 01:53:35.131
Michael w. smith: it was just an honor to be a part of
01:53:36.165 --> 01:53:37.901
It, honestly.
01:53:37.901 --> 01:53:39.235
I mean, just to be in italy and being on horseback and seeing
01:53:39.235 --> 01:53:41.838
These beautiful places and to sing all these beautiful songs
01:53:41.838 --> 01:53:46.509
And get to perform and do something with him,
01:53:46.509 --> 01:53:49.279
I mean, it was a week that i will never forget.
01:53:49.279 --> 01:53:55.818
Steven curtis chapman: i really do feel like i just took a
01:53:55.818 --> 01:53:57.921
Journey with andrea bocelli.
01:53:57.921 --> 01:53:59.255
Who gets to do that?
01:53:59.255 --> 01:54:01.124
You know, well, i did and anybody that sees this has the
01:54:01.124 --> 01:54:04.093
Opportunity to do that same thing, not just a journey of
01:54:04.093 --> 01:54:07.030
Beauty and amazing music, but, really, a chance to really hear
01:54:07.030 --> 01:54:11.601
The heart and soul of an amazing artist.
01:54:11.601 --> 01:54:15.872
You'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged.
01:54:15.872 --> 01:54:18.074
I kind of feel like i know i was just watching a screen, but i
01:54:18.074 --> 01:54:20.476
Feel like it was just very refreshing for the soul.
01:54:20.476 --> 01:54:23.813
Matt: andrea, thank you for this project.
01:54:23.813 --> 01:54:26.849
Thank you for creating.
01:54:26.849 --> 01:54:29.619
Now--
01:54:29.619 --> 01:54:30.954
Andrea: it's been a big experience.
01:54:30.954 --> 01:54:32.288
Very, very interesting and beautiful.
01:54:32.288 --> 01:54:33.623
Matt: --i want you to tell our audience why you want them to
01:54:33.623 --> 01:54:41.731
See this film.
01:54:41.731 --> 01:54:43.466
Andrea: i want them to be with us in the moment as they watch,
01:54:43.466 --> 01:54:47.203
To live with us this experience that we have had, i believe that
01:54:47.203 --> 01:54:52.108
Faith needs thought.
01:54:52.108 --> 01:54:54.077
If you think about these topics, if you think about the life that
01:54:54.077 --> 01:54:57.613
Is to come, if there is a way or an opportunity to think about it
01:54:57.613 --> 01:55:03.119
Intensely, then i believe that this helps to deepen our faith.
01:55:03.119 --> 01:55:08.691
If, on the other hand, we are distracted by a thousand things,
01:55:08.691 --> 01:55:13.296
If we are distracted by a daily routine, by entertainment, by
01:55:13.296 --> 01:55:17.667
Social media, by everything else, obviously,
01:55:17.667 --> 01:55:21.437
We distance ourselves from god.
01:55:21.437 --> 01:55:25.208
But above all, the hope is that this story develops in everyone
01:55:25.208 --> 01:55:30.480
Who will see it
01:55:30.480 --> 01:55:31.848
The three most important things, which are faith, hope
01:55:31.848 --> 01:55:37.920
And charity.
01:55:37.920 --> 01:55:45.795
