Many of the problems faced
by Humankind are related to
parent’s failures while they
ignore how important the
mission assigned by God to
them is and which damages
its failure may cause, as
emphasized by this week’s
editorial, entitled“Raising
the kids isn’t enough; it’s
necessary to educate them”.
The subject is also analyzed
during the interview
conceded by the psychiatrist
Edson Luís dos Santos
Cardoso to our collaborator
and editor Antonio Augusto
Nascimento. “When the
relationship with parents
fails, a child can’t trust
anyone else anymore”,
affirms the doctor and
confrere who administers the
group Fraternal Support of
the Spiritist Group Harvest
of the Master, from Santo
Ângelo (state of Rio Grande
do Sul).
Since 2002, the Group has
been performing an important
work of assistance to
families facing chemical
dependency and its
consequences, having a
methodology based on the
Spiritist Doctrine. The
model applied in this work
is supported by the
Spiritist Hospital of Porto
Alegre and has already been
adopted by various Spiritist
institutions in both Rio
Grande do Sul and Santa
Catarina states. The
interview is one of the
highlights in this edition.
Another highlight this week
is the special report
“Lessons of a missionary”,
written by the confrere
Ricardo Baesso de Oliveira,
from Juiz de Fora (state of
Minas Gerais), in which he
focus on the extraordinary
work of Dom Hélder Câmara,
who would celebrate 100
years of physical existence
in 2009 if he was still
incarnated among us.
On 14th November 1849, 160
years ago, Spiritists had
their first meeting in the
Corinthian Hall, the largest
auditorium available in
Rochester. The audience,
says Conan Doyle, heard with
attention the exposition
made by the key speaker, Mr.
Capron, from Auburn. It was
then that the famous sisters
Fox performed the first
public demonstrations of
their mediumistic faculties,
as shows the special report
that integrates this
edition, being also a
highlight this week.
