To the Youth of Good Will

I — Youth: When you embrace the ideals of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, you are signing your spiritual letter of freedom and confidently saying: “I prefer God, Jesus, and the Paraclete (Holy Spirit or Spirit of...

The Peace of God Within Us

On October 26, 2013, when we celebrated one more anniversary of the Temple of Good Will (TGW)—which I inaugurated in Brasília, capital city of Brazil, on October 21, 1989—people overcrowded the monument, in a great pilgrimage, as was published in...

Reacting to Discouragement Generates Good Vitality

I usually say to my dear readers that reacting to discouragement generates good vitality! Otherwise, what is there for us? To lie down and wait to die?! Never!

The Soul needs constant incentive to the practice of Good Deeds. Why say to the youth that they should not nurture Hope? If noble idealism does not survive, what is left for them? Plenty of room for discouragement. Everyone realizes that in this globalized world, the evil that takes place out there (wherever out there) may hit us right where we are. Let us just remember the big blow in world economy in 2008—few had suspected it, and its repercussions are still lingering. Unbelievable, isn’t it? Therefore, something beyond the current stage of earthly knowledge is made necessary now: to be connected to the Ideal Governance that starts in Heaven. Christ Himself assured us that in His Infallible Verses:

 “18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in Heaven.
“19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on Earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in Heaven.
“20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (The Gospel of Jesus according to Matthew 18:18-20)

It is crucial that above all we exercise Ecumenical Spirituality in all circumstances. This is something that someday cautious Science will address without any bias. Intuition, as I have said, is God’s intelligence within us.

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.”
