Letter to the reader

Year 17 - 862 - February 18, 2024

We are masters of our own destiny


The phrase above is written by Maria de Lurdes Duarte, from Arouca, Portugal. It is part of this edition's special feature in which she invites us to make serious resolutions for this year with the firm intention of actually putting them into practice. Quoting André Luiz's phrase, in chap. 27 of the book Spiritist Opinion (Opinião Espírita), psychographed by mediums Chico Xavier and Waldo Vieira: “Apart from yourself, no one decides your destiny”, it also reminds us that time is urgent and the time is to sow.


Electrical engineer, systems analyst and, currently, project engineer at the Poupatempo Program, in the state of São Paulo, Paulo Malerbi is our interviewee. Linked to FEESP – Spiritist Federation of the State of São Paulo and Seara Bendita, both located in the capital of São Paulo, he is the author of a book that portrays the life and work of 25 women who stood out in their work for good, the main subject of the interview.


The 26th State Spiritist Conference will take place from March 8th to 10th at Centro de Eventos Positivo, in Curitiba (PR), an event promoted by the Spiritist Federation of Paraná that focuses this year on the theme The Gospel according to Spiritism – 160 years Illuminating paths, Awakening consciences. The opening will be on the 8th (Friday), at 7:30 pm, with a conference given by Divaldo Franco.
