Alziro Zarur

Alziro Zarur (1914-1979), late founder of the Legion of Good Will (LGW), wisely warned everyone: “Suicide does not resolve anyone’s anguish.” Therefore, no one should commit suicide imagining that they would be pain-free by acting in such a fatal way, because they will awake in the Other World more alive than ever, and with all their problems aggravated. To escape from suffering through suicide is to repeatedly fall in the hands of suffering, therefore, under the torture of the “invisible wolf,” the obsessing spirit that must be defeated, but not mistreated, and consequently redeemed by the sheep of Christ. We should always remember the popular saying that was immortalized by the beloved Brazilian poet, singer, and composer Adoniran Barbosa (1910-1982), in his Saudosa Maloca, recorded by him in 1951, and in a vinyl record by singer Marlene (1922-2014), from São Paulo, Brazil: “God gives us the cold as the size of our blanket.”

Éliphas Lévi

And He really does. All we have to do is be clever and know that we should intelligently use our blanket in “winter” until “summer” comes around again. I usually remind everyone about this timely aphorism by the French writer Éliphas Lévi (1810-1875), comforting those who fight for the Good and move steadily on despite the worst conditions to be overcome, since the Sun of Hope shall shine: “Happy are those believers who never lose hope and, in the winter of the heart, await for the return of the swallows.”

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.”
