Discreet, Gentle and Maternal Action
To try to count the dewdrops that God sprinkles on the face of the earth during the night would be a futile undertaking… In fact, dew is nothing more than tiny drops of water, but at dawn each day it would be possible to fill a few barrels with this …

Constant Concern for Her Children’s Education
Dona Lucilia had outdone herself in providing the best possible education for her children at home. However, despite all of her concerns, in 1919, having reached the appropriate age, Plinio would have to be enrolled in school. She naturally chose the best in São Paulo, run by the Jesuit Fathers. …

Aided by a Mother

A Stepping-Stone for Devotion to Our Lady
Dona Lucilia’s company was an oasis for Plinio. From her he learned, besides elevation, the giving of oneself taken to its ultimate consequences.

Excellent Educator, Loving Mother
