Divaldo dedicated his life to the Spiritist Cause, sowing love for his fellow human beings. 'We remember our dear friend, but we do not forget that liberation has occurred. While we remain here longing, we imagine the celebration in the Spiritual Plane with his arrival after a successful, complete existence, leaving this immense legacy for humanity,'emphasizes the president of the FEB (Brazilian Spiritist Federation), Jorge Godinho. The wake will be held at the Gymnasium of Mansão do Caminho, from 9 am to 8 pm on May 14th (Wednesday). The burial will take place on the following Thursday, at 10 am, at the Bosque da Paz Cemetery. Born on May 5, 1927, in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Divaldo was responsible for more than 20,000 lectures, held in over 2,500 cities and 71 countries around the world. With more than 260 published works and over 10 million copies sold, he left a Spiritist literary legacy that encompasses more than 200 spiritual authors in the most diverse themes and textual genres. His works, translated into 17 languages, continue to illuminate the path of millions of people with comfort, hope, and spirituality. A missionary and multifaceted medium, Divaldo became one of the greatest Spiritist mediums and orators of our time. Alongside Nilson de Souza Pereira (who passed away in 2013), he founded the Spiritist Center Caminho da Redenção (Path of Redemption) in 1947 and Mansão do Caminho (Mansion of the Path) in 1952, which today constitute an admirable educational and socio-assistance complex, with 44 buildings, distributed across streets, woods, and a lake, where more than 5,000 people – children, youth, adults, the elderly – who seek material, educational, and spiritual help are assisted daily. Uncle Divaldo, as he is affectionately called, was also a tireless father and educator, having registered more than 650 children, who grew up in the former foster homes of Mansão do Caminho. For all of this, he received more than 800 honors from cultural, social, religious, political, and governmental institutions for his total dedication to humanitarian causes." https://www.instagram.com/p/DJngMgVRsPl/ (fb)
