No One Is Lost

      

In my book Jesus, o Profeta Divino [Jesus, the Divine Prophet] (2011), I ask an intriguing question: Do you want to triumph over your own self and succeed? Let Jesus coexist in your Spirit and let Holy Mary comfort your heart maternally at rough times throughout the human journey.

In fact, no one is hopelessly lost or abandoned in this world.

Tela: Giovanni Sassoferrato (1609-1685)

     

We must not lose sight of the invitation from the Celestial Provider to overcome any and all difficulties that may arise along the way. In His Gospel according to Matthew 21:22 and 17:20, He promised: “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. If you have Faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Alziro Zarur  

Oh Divine Master, Head of humanity, which mountains can Accomplishing Faith move from our path? Through the sacred intuition—which is Your voice in us—we know the answer: it is despair, lack of money, the need for many other things, illness (of the Spirit, body, and mind), lack of love, incomprehension, slander, infamy, hunger, and anything else that may afflict Your beloved children. That is why in his lessons from the Universalist Spiritual Center of the Religion of the Third Millennium, Brother Alziro Zarur (1914-1979) taught us that “Faith is God Himself. Faith is the same as God.”

José de Paiva Netto (1941-2025), a writer, journalist, radio broadcaster, educator, composer, poet, the President Emeritus and Consolidator of the Legion of Good Will, and Spiritual Leader of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit. He was an effective member of the Brazilian Press Association (ABI) and the Brazilian International Press Association (ABI-Inter), a member of the National Federation of Journalists (FENAJ), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Union of Professional Journalists of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the Union of Writers of Rio de Janeiro, the Radio Broadcasters Union of Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian Union of Composers (UBC), and the Academy of Letters of Central Brazil. He became an internationally recognized author in the defense of human rights and in his concepts of Ecumenical Citizenship and Ecumenical Spirituality, which, in his own words, represent “the cradle of the most generous values that are born of the Soul, the dwelling of emotions and of reasoning enlightened by intuition; the atmosphere that embraces everything that transcends the ordinary field of matter and comes from elevated human sensitivity, such as Truth, Justice, Mercy, Ethics, Honesty, Generosity, and Fraternal Love. In short, the mathematical constant that harmonizes the equation of spiritual, moral, mental, and human existence. Now, without the understanding that we exist on two planes―not only on the physical plane―it will be difficult to build a Society that is truly Ecumenical, Altruistic, and Solidary, since we would still be ignoring that the knowledge of Superior Spirituality elevates the character of creatures and, consequently, leads to the construction of the Planetary Citizenship.”
