“Let your light shine before men”

Final Acts of Piety

To break the monotony of each day following the same routine as the last, Dr. Plinio took his mother from time to time for a walk along Alagoas Street,1 where they lived. He never took her so far as Buenos Aires Square, thinking it unwise to cross the extremely busy …

A Soul of Harmonious Contrasts

Due to her magnanimity of soul, Dona Lucilia easily adapted to the will of others. Nothing disturbed her well-ordered inner equanimity.

Dona Lucilia Is Truly Beside Me!

In the gentleness of a smile or in a discreet intervention; as a friendly hand that reassures or a strong arm that supports; by a simple inner inspiration that is tantamount to salutary advice… In short, Dona Lucilia’s maternal help is felt in many different ways even by people who …

What seemed to be the end was really the beginning…

April 21, 1968. Dona Lucilia Ribeiro dos Santos Corrêa de Oliveira lay in her apartment on her deathbed. The young Dr. Luiz Moreira Duncan, a friend of her son, Dr. Plinio, was in attendance since her private doctor, the eminent Dr. Abrahão Brickman, was out. Around 10 o’clock in the …
