Chico Xavier Page #4

---

from a lot of suspicion,

be happy from admiration

and gratitude,

sometimes feel even anger.

Sound good?

Suspicion and anger

have always been in my life.

Well, I warned you.

For starters

we have to write thirty books.

Thirty books?

I don't make much money.

What about the ink an'the paper?

I have 13 siblings!

Do yo'reckon my pa's

goin'to win the lottery?

Who are you, anyway?

It's the Devi!

I told you many times

Over the years.

He of many faces...

may show a different

face at any time.

You been insistin'

for a long time...

Chico, I didn't forget

that you swore before me

and before Christ.

I have a good memory.

Remember that boy

with the rock on his head?

He don't exist no more.

I learned a lot now.

I can almost unnerstan'

what happens to me.

Understanding

and learning with this...

What do you call it?

Spirit?

His name is Emmanuel.

Now I read books day n' night.

And there's Percio and Carmem

they help me a lot too.

Do all Peracio

and Carmem's books...

give you peace?

Yes, I'm at peace with mysel'.

I want to take this peace to all.

I'm goin'to start a place

to help those in need.

I know

you're no longerthat boy.

But to me you're the same

you always were.

Beware:
many folks

are going to make fun of you.

You know it, right?

You will be doubted

and persecuted. Think on it.

I know it's for my own good.

But now I have discipline,

I have a mission:

help others

and talk about Spiritism.

The church is against it.

And me...

well I'm sorry,

if you keep on I won't...

be able

to see you anymore.

I don't want you

to be angry with me.

I'm not.

It's just that you

are a very good person.

And such goodness

is hard to find.

Give me yer' blessing?

May happiness,

our greatest good,

always be with you.

I pray to the Holy Virgin

that she pours blessings

on you.

Amen.

May God go with you,

my son.

Thanks, old friend!

Within the Catholic Church,

we have seen...

prodigious manifestations

of spirituality at Masses...

when the communion

of the spiritual vibrations...

of all the faithful is possible.

And so you believe that

the miracles of the Catholic church,

like apparitions of Our Lady

in Lourdes and Fatima,

are examples

of spirit materialization?

We've seen sainted spirits

blessing holy wafers...

the priests offered

at communion...

and transforming

into flowers of light.

...unable to explain

this phenomenon.

Therefore all the manifestations

of the divine,

that have reached us

through the Church,

which we consider to be

the mother of all civilization,

truly merit our veneration.

The spirits teach us...

that we are at different

levels of interpretation...

but that we are one family in

the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ...

...despite being on the level

of christian spiritism,

according Allan Kardec's

concepts,

one day we left

the catholic church

with the blessing of a priest

whom we loved, like a father,

Because mediumship

beckoned to us.

This is how we started.

They're talking about him

all over the town.

-Crazy...

-He's finally flipped his lid...

Bonkers.

Now all he wants

is to listen to spirits.

Chico!

Chico, look it here!!!

It's yesterday's paper...

It says everything.

Tells about all the sickness

you helped cure,

the advice you've given.

It even has yer'poem!

The poem ain't mine, Z,

It just went through me

like the wind.

But that ain't all,

come take a look see.

You're gonna have

a lot of work tonight.

You sure are.

Now off to the store.

I'll hold everyone there

till tonight.

You must put a herb poultice

on the wound.

And trust in the power of Jesus.

Thankee my lil'saint.

What can I give you for it?

It ain't me. It's Dr. Bezerra.

You go help needy folks,

the heaven will thank us.

We thank our friends

from the spiritual plane

that have been here

helping us do good.

-Amen.

-Amen.

Good night all...

Congratulations, Chico.

Good work and good night.

Now go and rest, go on.

Good night.

Chico,

we got a present for you.

You folks are leaving

and I get the present?

Altair, get in,

stop running around in here!

Attention, Attention...

How lovely!

Look Z. Look at our work here,

-just look how beautiful...

-Now...

its up hill all the way.

-Mr. Chico, sir.

-At your service.

Look it my boy's face,

we're in need of yer'heIp,

Mr. Chico.

This is our home, mister.

-You wait yer'turn!

-Hey Carmosina.

I'm gonna help the boy

and his pa.

The house ain't just yours.

We come back later.

No, I'll see to you now.

-You alright, Z?

-Everything's fine.

Paulo.

-Yup!

-Beautiful calves, huh?

Looking good, sir.

Why are you

just standing there?!

It hurts.

I'm bleeding!

We've still got

a lot to write today.

Don't you see I can't.

My eye's sick.

You know that two eyes

are a luxury.

Open your eye...

Where is the light?

To the right.

And now?

Down.

And now?

Up to the right.

How could let your eyes

get this bad?

It's work...

too much work, sir.

No work can justify this.

What do you do?

Well, now I'm a civil servant.

Durin' the day...

right around now I go to the office...

Then on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

we have night sessions,

on Thursdays,

study group,

at night and in my free time,

I have to write books.

This isn't civil service.

It is slavery!

I am a Spiritist... a medium.

No wonder you see spirits...

with your eye as blurry as it is!

I'm prescribing these eye drop

three times a day.

Will it be long

till I'm well again?

I'm sorry but the eye drops

Are just to relieve the symptoms.

You have a serious case

of cataract...

in your left eye.

I suggest more frequent

check ups and...

And to take better care

of yourself.

Could you move

over here, please.

-Yes.

-God bless you.

Pa, what's goin'on?

-Did you hit the jackpot?

-Better than the jackpot.

My boy's now on track.

An' I already know...

Chico, I brought you a chicken.

Thanks, son, thanks...

I know how we're

gonna sort things out.

We put a gate

on the hen house

an' if each visitor

leaves us a hen,

-we gonna be rich, no time!

-Oh pa, we can't.

Donations are only

for who really needs them.

Spirits only say that 'cause

they don't have to pay for meat

-and milk.

-Pa!

My salary is enough,

and we have our jobs too.

'Nuff for you.

Be sure I'll guide you

when I die.

Right now, I say one thing

an' you do another.

Father, Chico is arm in arm

with the other one.

So you're the one who pretends

to get messages from beyond.

I was...

I am a friend of the priest.

I could be friends

with you too.

I know.

The dark spirit

is artful

and seductive sowing his evil.

Those who communicate with me,

teach only good.

Evil is kept far away.

If that's so, tell me:

here, in God's church,

do you see

any of these spirits of yours?

Some people think

your imitations

are close to perfect.

Do you think

I should agree with them?

I didn't come

to ask for nothin'.

Jus'to see my friend.
