The importance of listening well so that we can welcome and help


Ricardo Drummond Marsicano Ribeiro was born in Juiz de Fora (MG), currently residing in João Pessoa (PB), is our interviewee. A clinical psychologist, with a focus on therapeutic care and psychoeducation in courses aimed at human development, he participates at a distance, thanks to the facilities provided by the internet, at the Faith and Charity Spiritist Center, in his hometown. In the interview, he emphasizes the importance of knowing how to listen so that we can effectively help those who need shelter and support. The article is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the Special “Observations on the cultivation of lies and their spiritual impact”, by Anselmo Ferreira Vasconcelos, from São Paulo (SP). In his article, he reminds us of an observation made by André Luiz (Espirito), who said, in one of his works, that there would be little change in the contemporary world compared to the times of Jesus. And an obvious sign of this perception, says the columnist, “it is the fact that the habit of lying remains deeply rooted in the human soul”.

Last Wednesday, the calendar reminded us of the disincarnation that took place on March 9, 1984, of the great medium and spiritualist scholar Yvonne do Amaral Pereira. Victimized by a thrombosis, the medium disincarnated during a surgery she had undergone at Hospital da Lagoa, in Rio de Janeiro. She was born on December 24, 1900, in the small village of Santa Tereza de Valença (today Rio das Flores), state of Rio de Janeiro, she was 83 years old when she disincarnated.
