Letter to the reader

Year 17 - 822 - May 7, 2023

Spiritists living in Spiritism and the latter living in them, only with an inner change


The thought above, inspired by a phrase by Wallace Leal V. Rodrigues, said in the preface to the work Spiritist Travel in 1862 (Viagem Espírita em 1862), by Allan Kardec, is part of the interesting interview given to us by Andres Gustavo Arruda, from Caxias do Sul (RS), city where he works in two institutions: the Spiritist Center Alunos do Bem and the Spiritist Center Roteiro de Luz, in which he participates in numerous activities. The focus of the interview is the spiritist task, in the context of spiritist institutions and their workers.


“The Promised Comforter” is the theme of the special written by our partner José Passini, who is part of the Editorial Board of the magazine O Consolador. In the article, which is one of the highlights of this issue, he transcribes the passages from the Gospel of John in which Jesus alludes to the Consoler that the Father would send to the world in his name and makes considerations about the characteristics of the Spirit of Truth and the purposes of his presence in our midst.


Last Friday, May 5th, Divaldo Franco celebrated 96 years of a fruitful existence, whose achievements in countless and different sectors spiritists in Brazil and abroad do not ignore, but which is always good to remember as a stimulus for all of us who we admire him so much. Recording the important event, Leonardo Marmo Moreira wrote a beautiful text entitled “Divaldo, 96 years old!”, which is worth reading.
