Solidarity to the people of the Philippines

In happiness or sorrow, human beings are never alone. Whether they know it or not, whether they believe or not, they have God for themselves. In the desert or in the orchards, on the mountains or in the valleys, in the cities or in the fields, if they reverently contemplate on High, they will see a multitude of stars carrying in their immensity billions and billions of lives.

With the same Accomplishing Faith that led me to write these words that were later published in my book “How to overcome suffering” (1990), I would like to transmit our fraternal solidarity to the people of the Philippine archipelago in Asia. Our Brothers in Humanity are suffering terribly from the consequences of super typhoon Haiyan that struck last Friday, November 8. With winds reaching more than 300 km/h the storm, which is considered to be one of the strongest ever recorded on land, devastated some regions in the country. It is still not possible to say the exact number of victims. The authorities estimate the number of deaths and missing people in thousands.

CHARITY: A RECONSTRUCTION TOOL

Specialists in human behavior agree that in similar situations when pain surprises us in such a cruel way, overcoming it requires adopting a courageous attitude. Leaving aside feelings of anguish and rage is equally indispensable.

To those who believe in a superior power, in Eternity, this ordeal is more readily accepted and realized. However, even skeptics can find constructive energy for giving new meaning to their existence. We have, for example, charity, the provision of help to our fellow beings, which is an emblematic reconstruction tool (...).

In the hearts of those who remain, the sudden absence of those who have returned to the Great True Homeland is eased by the certainty that the Creator provides a renewed condition of life for their loved ones, because the dead do not die. Wherever they are they need the understanding of those who remain on Earth. Let us consider the possibility of active life in other dimensions. The Spiritual World is not an abstraction.

All of us, both human and spiritual beings, are always summoned to understand the most profound realities so we can endure and overcome the daily challenges we face.

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.”
