for the Brazilian legal system,

the victim acquitted

his own murderer.

Sir.

I am sure the jury

was influenced by that letter,

in acquitting this young man.

It is a sad day when

the dead interfere...

in the sentencing of the living.

-Early start today?

-Didn't you see.

There are piles of letters, lots of

people for the session tonight.

And we haven't even written

the two hundredth.

Well I'll be...

You never told me

why you gave them that letter.

I told you.

I said you knew everything.

That's not an answer.

Every little bit of peace,

I bring to someone

is worth

the peace that I never had.

-I never said...

-You said something like that...

Make up your mind.

Are you gonna help me

or should I look for another guide?

TEN HOURS AFTER BRAZIL WON

THE WORLD CUP FOR THE FIFTH TIME

THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE WERE HAPPY

When they reflect our longing

tempered with hope,

our disembodied friends tell us,

that the tears do them

a lot of good.

These tears then light the paths

of who is remembered

with such great affection.

But when the tears

reflect our anger

at God's designs,

things that we cannot understand.

When the tears reflect

our rebellion

the tears

hurt the living as well

as those who have departed.

Within the Catholic Church,

we have seen prodigious

spirituality manifest

several times, and mostly...

at morning Masses.

Where there is a communion

on the same level

of the spiritual vibrations

of all the believers

and their faith in Jesus.

We've seen

sainted spirits

blessing the holy wafers,

transforming them

into flowers of light,

that the priests offered

at communion.

...So I started shouting

''God help me!''.

And Emmanuel's spirit entered.

-It seemed like this thing...

-He entered the plane?

It sounds like something

from a TV program...

but it is true...

-He entered the plane

-You saw the spirit enter?

Then he passed those people

who could not see him,

just like most of

the people here...

can't see him.

And he asked me

''Why are you screaming?

I heard your cry for help,

what's the matter?''

And that thing had been going

for about twenty minutes.

So I said:
''Don't you think

our lives are at risk?''

And he said:
''Yes and so what?

There are many whose

lives are at risk,

you are not privileged, right?''.

So I said:
''Alright if my life

is at risk I'm going to scream!''

and I went...

and I went on screaming...

''My God help me!''

And everybody

was screaming too.

''I am afraid of dyin

in this crash too''.

And he said:

''Very well, then die politely.

Shut up and die politely...

so you don't make everyone

anxious with your screaming.

Die with faith in God''.

-Very well...

-And I said:

''I just want to know

how does one die politely''.

So I pray to all our friends

of the Spiritist faith,

to help me with their

fraternal vibrations,

since I am here,

fearful of making more...

grammatical errors...

and of being more uncivil...

than I already am in daily life.

The first book known to humanity,

was let's say, a book

from the spiritual realm,

a book of stone,

it was the Ten Commandments.

Spirit written by Moses!

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.

Though we are personally on

the level of Christian Spiritism,

according to Allan Kardec's

conception,

as the mediumship...

called us

to this field of work,

which is in itself

profoundly Christian,

and so we left...

our work

in the Catholic Church...

with the blessing of a priest...

who we loved like a father.

We have a problem in terms

of sex and Humanity,

something we should consider...

with great care and mutual respect.

Lets us say...

if man's potentialties

in seeing,

hearing,

in the huge resources

of the brain,

let us say,

in taste buds,

in the hands,

the hands

that do manual works,

in the feet...

If all these potentialities were

given Man for his advancement,

for education, for wellbeing,

I'm saying that these

potentialities in God's name,

are dedicated to good

and to light,

why would sex, in its

diverse manifestations...

be sentenced to darkness?

I wouId like to ask permission

to sum up my thanks,

by saying the prayer

she recited with me...

when I was 4 years old.

''Our Father, which art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come;

thy will be done,

in Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive them

that trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power, and the glory,

forever and ever. Amen.''

Thank you very much.
