The earthquake that
destroyed the capital of
Haiti last 12th, considered
the severest tragedy in last
60 years of UN history,
presented shocking numbers,
being impressive by the
quantity of families that
have lost literally
everything, on the top of
thousands of deaths, as
highlighted in this week’s
editorial, entitled The
human impotence before
natural disasters.
Among the highlights in this
edition, we call the
reader’s attention to the
interview conceded to the
journalist Katia Fabiana
Fernandes by the confrere
Pekka Olavi Kaarakainen,
from Finland, in which the
confrere talks about his
start in Spiritism, telling
how Finlanders face the
Spiritual matter and says
about his will to start
seeding and announce the
Spiritist teachings in his
homeland.
Another highlight this week
is the special report by
Washington Luiz N.
Fernandes, from São Paulo,
regarding the mediumistc
work of Divaldo P. Franco, this time focusing on text
psychographed by the
reknowned medium that have
the authorship of Spirits
who were awarded with a
Nobel Prize in Literacture
in life.
Disincarnated last December
at the age of 95, Ms.
Aparecida Conceição
Ferreira, founder of the
Home of Charity – Wild Fire
Hospital (Hospital do Fogo
Selvagem), former Hospital
of Pemphigus (Hospital do
Pênfigo), in Uberaba (state
of Minas Gerais), as shows
the special report that
integrates this edition and
is also a highlight.
