Letter to the reader

Year 14 - 680 – July 26, 2020

Crises seem chaotic, but they are windows to new perspectives


This thought is from our collaborator Claudia Gelernter, author of the Special In Times of Crisis, one of the highlights of this edition. In the article, she reminds us that, as no one ignores, personal, family, global crises are happening, but it is important to understand - she adds - that this is the time to move on, supported by our solid and robust faith, placing ourselves as peace workers at all times, aware that the peace we all aspire to is a construction that effectively begins in each one of us.

Another highlight of this issue is the interview given to us by Divanir Assis Castilho, from Bauru (SP). A cradle spirit, Divanir participates in the activities of the Vicente de Paulo Spirit Centre, where she works as a study monitor and speaker. In the interview she gave us, she tells us about her performance in the spirit works and the unusual way in which she usually reads the spirit books, from which even the catalogue card she reads it.

The 3rd edition of the National Family Week will take place from 16 to 22 August, a seminar promoted by the Family Department of the Brazilian Spirit Medical Association and which this year, due to the new coronavirus pandemic, will be virtual. In an interview with journalist Giovana Campos, the event's organizer, doctor Márcia Regina Caldas Léon, vice president of AME-Planalto, talks to us about the subject.
