One of the highlights of this issue, this Sunday before Christmas, is the Special “Jesus, the educator of souls”, in which José Passini talks about Jesus, the Master who based his lessons on exemplification. “There was – says Passini – no lesson without an example.” “Jesus was simple and thorough in what he verbally taught and abundant in examples.” 

An interview with Maria Gorete Araújo Newton, president at UCESS – Union of the Spiritist Centers in Switzerland, is another highlight of this issue. Living in Winterthur, near Zurich, Switzerland, where she’s been living for 16 years, Gorete is originally from Cubatão. Very sensible and clear in her answers, she thinks it’s a waste of time the discussion of topics already gotten over and says that, if we roll up our sleeves and work for the good, generating citizens aware of their realities and potentials, the change in our planet can happens sooner than we expect, modifying the current violent state on Earth, once that violence is the result of lack of love and justice in the heart of men. 

It took place on December 6-8, in Calpe, Alicante, Spain, the XVI National Spiritist Congress, which had as the main topic “Spiritism: past, present and future”, as reports Claudia Werdine, our Correspondent in Europe, in another highlight of this issue.
