Ação e Reação (A Vida no Mundo Espiritual, #9) Quotes

“inferno, a rigor, pode ser, desse modo, definido como vasto campo de desequilíbrio, estabelecido pela maldade calculada, nascido da cegueira voluntária e da perversidade completa. Aí vivem domiciliados, às vezes por séculos, Espíritos que se bestializaram, fixos que se acham na crueldade e no egocentrismo.”
― Francisco Cândido Xavier, Ação e Reação

“Prayer, in the sense we alluded to, is always a proof of good will and understanding in our testimony as indebted spirits… Of course, it cannot change the course of the laws, whose transgressions have made us defendants subject to multiple corrections, but it does renew our way of being, representing not only a blessed sowing of solidarity on our behalf, but also a vaccine against a return to evil. In addition, prayer makes it possible for us to draw closer to the great benefactors who guide our steps, helping us to organize a new route for a secure journey.”
― Francisco Cândido Xavier, Action and Reaction

“You, the rich of the earth – I thought to myself with tears – where is the power of your gold-stuffed coffers before the simple radiance of a prayer? What is the greatness of your palaces of splendor and jewels when compared to one single minute of the soul’s reverence in communion with God’s Paternity in the majesty of Heaven?”
― Francisco Cândido Xavier, Action and Reaction

“And evil will always be represented by that sad tendency of keeping the good exclusively to ourselves, expressed in selfishness and vanity, insensitivity and pride, which portray the inferior lines of the spirit.” After a short pause, the Minister added: “Our Lord Jesus Christ is the paradigm of the Eternal Good on earth. Having given himself completely for the benefit of others, he didn’t hesitate to accept the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all so that good for all could prevail, even though only incomprehension and suffering, flagellation and death were reserved for him personally.”
― Francisco Cândido Xavier, Action and Reaction
