Recalling the remarkable figure of Jerônimo Mendonça

 
Our interviewee today is Professor Nicola José Frattari Neto, from the town of Ituiutaba in Minas Gerais, where he lived as a teenager, for years in a row, with Jerônimo Mendonça and was able to accompany several services provided by the late confrere, which resulted in a new book about that unforgettable character in the history of Spiritism in Brazil. Published by Casa Editora O Clarim, the book is entitled "New Cases of Jerônimo Mendonça", which is one of the themes of the interview he gave us.

“The challenge of simplicity” is the title of the Special that illustrates this edition. In the article, Cláudio Bueno da Silva exposes his thought that living content with what you have is a healthy exercise of balance and a demonstration that the individual is close to serenity. In the final part of the text, the writer says that simplicity "creates a wise way of looking and doing differently, it gives a gain to life of those who want to be more and better, without judging themselves more and better than anyone else".

Another highlight of this edition is a special article on the topic of suicide prevention, authored by journalist Giovana Campos, who heard about the important subject from nephrologist Ana Catarina Tavares Loureiro, coordinator of the Suicide Prevention Group Yvonne Pereira, located in Vitória (ES).
