A chat with Marco Túlio Michalick, author of Courage, Hope and Faith
 

This week’s editorial, The problems we face must be solved by ourselves, focuses on a timely lesson contained in the stories of Hilário Silva, about the colleague who asked the help of spiritual mentors to find hidden treasures.

The interview of the week is Marco Túlio Michalick, currently living in Brasilia-DF. Author of Courage, Hope and Faith, which brings together stories and reflections on the virtues that give the book its title, he talks in the interview, which is one of the features of this edition, about the content of the book and also brings important considerations on the Spiritist Doctrine.

Another highlight of this edition is the special article Considerations on suicide, written by Christina Nunes, of Rio de Janeiro-RJ, which was divided into two parts. The second part will be published in an upcoming issue of this journal.

The third feature of the week is the article from Paul Salerno on the travels of the speaker Divaldo Franco through various cities of Rio Grande do Sul: Santa Cruz do Sul, Santa Maria, Passo Fundo and Gramado, where he delivered the opening speech for the statewide Spiritist Congress.

This week we observe one more anniversary of the disincarnation of one of the great promoters of Spiritism born in this country: Pedro de Camargo, also known by his pen name Vinícius, who died on October 11th, 1966, at the age of 88.

Born in Piracicaba-SP, Pedro de Camargo left us important works in the field of education such as the books In the Harvest of the Master and In the Footsteps of the Master, and even today his work in education is a reference on the subject.
