The influence of the arts on us and our lives


In the Special Live, Love and Live, Arleir Bellieny examines the influence of the arts on our trajectory in this world. Alluding to the so-called “Yellow September”, which reminds us of the importance of paying attention to the issue of suicide, he proposes a reflection on two magnificent works, one by Goethe, the other by Mozart, whose consequences on people's conduct and lives they deserve to be always remembered and meditated upon. The article is one of the highlights of this issue.

Another highlight is the interview that Orson Peter Carrara did with the confrere Roberto Sabbadini Júnior, born in Bicas from Minas Gerais and currently living in the city of Muriaé (MG). In the interview, the focus is on Saint Francis of Assisi and his extraordinary influence on the course of the Church and Christianity. Graduated in Economics, our interviewee is part of the volunteer team of the Spiritist Center Maria de Nazaré, in his city, where he works in the dissemination of Spiritism.

On April 29, 2005, SEAC – Sociedade Espírita Amor e Caridade was founded in the Engenho Pequeno neighborhood in São Gonçalo (RJ). In July 2005, the new entity had already acquired its own headquarters. Marcel Bataglia Gonçalves tells us a little of this story in a special article that is also one of the highlights of this edition.
