Helena Delphino Bragatto
(photo) was born
in the Brazilian town of
Guaranésia, in the state
of Minas Gerais, and
lives in São Carlos, in
the state of São Paulo.
She is the current
president of Maria de
Nazaré Spiritist
Project. Helena is now a
pensioner. Soft-spoken,
she shares the teachings
from the Gospel in her
talks, which are often
combined with the
presentation of
paintings painted
through mediumship. Her
presentation put
together knowledge, art
and emotion, as she
explains in the
following interview:
How did you come up with
the idea of having the
Gospel followed by
mediunmic paintings?
I was invited by friends
who love the arts.
What is the main aim of
those presentations?
To disseminate
immortality and the
Gospel, to touch people
through art, to help
others and give them
guidance, among many
other benefits.
What is your assessment
of that work?
In my experience with
the Spiritist Centres
who invite me and the
public in general, many
people share their
impressions and facts
about painting that have
helped my physical and
emotional health.
Is there any special
experience that you
would like to share with
us?
Some people ask us to
prepared canvasses
especially for them.
When the canvasses are
ready, they reveal that
they are exactly they
would like them to be.
There is the example of
a lady who requested a
painting to be displayed
in the room where she
treated children
suffering from cancer.
When she saw the
painting she told me
that it was exactly what
she saw when she prayed.
It was what she could
see in her mind when she
begged God for help for
her patients. “Even the
grass in the garden was
like that,” she used to
tell me.
What has been the
public’s reaction?
The public has been very
receptive, fraternal,
vibrant and frankly
admirable.
What else would you like
to add?
