Brazil, Heart of the World, Homeland of the Gospel, by Humberto de Campos (Spirit), psychographed by Francisco “Chico” Xavier.
Introduction
In the opinion of many, we are a “third-world country.”
However, Jesus chose Brazil to be the granary of the world and the Homeland of the Gospel.
According to Humberto de Campos, in the acclaimed book
Brazil, Heart of the World, Homeland of the Gospel,
Brazil’s mission is different.
Emmanuel, mentor of Francisco Cândido (Chico) Xavier, teaches in the Preface of the work:
“Brazil is not only destined to supply the material needs of the poorest peoples of the planet, but also to provide the entire world with a consoling expression of belief and reasoned faith, and to be the greatest granary of spiritual clarities of the entire orb.”
The first edition of this book was published in 1938, 88 years ago, and its teachings remain extremely current.
Preface
My dear children,
I come to speak to you about the work in which you are now collaborating with our discarnate friend, in the sense of clarifying the remote origins of the formation of the Homeland of the Gospel, to which we have so often referred in our various communications.
Our brother Humberto has, in this matter, a broad field of work to cover, with his ease of expression and with the spirit of sympathy that he possesses, as a writer, in view of the general mentality of Brazil.
The data that he provides in these pages were gathered from the traditions of the spiritual world, where watchful and friendly phalanxes constantly gather for the great sacrifices on behalf of suffering humanity.
This work is intended to explain the mission of the Brazilian land in the modern world. Humboldt, visiting the extensive valley of the Amazon, exclaimed, enraptured, that there was to be found the granary of the world. The great scientist asserted a great truth; however, we need to unfold it, extending it from its economic sense to its spiritual meaning.
Brazil is not only destined to supply the material needs of the poorest peoples of the planet, but also to provide the entire world with a consoling expression of belief and reasoned faith, and to be the greatest granary of spiritual clarities of the entire orb.
In these times of bitter confusionism, we consider a work of this nature useful and, with the permission of our elders from the higher planes, we undertake this additional humble work, thanking you for your disinterested and spontaneous collaboration.
Our task aims to clarify the general environment of the country, binding its traditions of fraternity with the cement of pure truths, because, if Greece and Rome of antiquity had their hour, as primordial elements of the origins of all Western civilization; if the Portuguese and Spanish empires spread almost throughout the entire planet; if France, if England have had their prominent hour in the times that mark the evolutionary stages of the world, Brazil will also have its great moment, on the clock that marks the days of humanity’s evolution.
If other peoples bore witness to progress through materialized and transitory expressions, Brazil will have its immortal expression in the life of the spirit, representing the source of a new thought, without the ideologies of separativeness, and flooding all fields of human activities with a new light.
This is, in synthesis, the reason for our action in this sense.
Our brother finds it easier to pour out his thought in solitude with the medium, as if he were still in his solitary office; hence the reason why the pages under consideration were produced in such a way as to take advantage of the opportunities of the moment.
We ask God to inspire the public men currently at the helm of the Homeland of the Southern Cross, and that, in this bitter hour in which the inversion of almost all moral values is taking place within the workshops of humanity, they may know how to place very high the magnitude of their principal duties.
And to you, my children, may God strengthen and bless you, sustaining you in the purifying struggles of material life.
EMMANUEL
Clarifying
All the scholars who traveled through Brazil, studying some details of its eight and a half million square kilometers, fell in love with the richness of its infinite possibilities. Eminent geologists defined the treasures of its soil, and illustrious naturalists classified its fauna and flora, marveled before its prodigious surprises.
In the sumptuous and unprecedented landscapes, where the gentle heat of the tropics nourishes and perfumes all things, there is always a trace of beauty and originality overwhelming the spirit of the traveler thirsty for emotions.
But, if numerous thinkers and notable artists translated its grandeur as a new world, telling “out there” of the inexhaustible reserves of the giant of America, all this analytical spirit did not go beyond the superficial sphere of appreciations, because they did not see the spiritual Brazil, the evangelical Brazil, on whose roads, full of hope, the fraternal and generous people struggle, dream, and work, whose soul is the “loving flower of three sad races,” in the harmonious expression of one of its most eminent poets.
The Brazilian reserves are not circumscribed to the world of steel of material progress, which strongly impressed the spirit of Humboldt, but extend, infinitely, to the world of gold of hearts, where the country will write its epic of moral achievements, in favor of the world.
Jesus transplanted from Palestine to the region of the Southern Cross the magnanimous tree of His Gospel, so that its delicate shoots might blossom anew, bearing fruit in works of love for all creatures.
To the skepticism of the age, an affirmation of this nature will sound strange. The Gospel? Would it not be a mere fiction of the thinkers of Christianity, the repository of its lessons? Was it not only a song of hope of the Hebrew people, which the Catholic Church adapted in order to guarantee the crown on the heads of earthly princes? Will it not be an empty word, without objective meaning in the present time of the globe, when all spiritual values seem to descend into the “whitewashed sepulcher” of transition and decadence?
But the reality is that, notwithstanding all the surprises of modern ideologies, the lesson of Christ is there on the planet, awaiting the general comprehension of its profound meaning. Upon it, complicated philosophies and the most extravagant salvationist theories were raised. In its favor, many thousands of books were published, and some wars bloodied the path of peoples.
However, the sublime exemplification of the Divine Master, in its pure and simple expression, asks only the humility and love of the creature, in order to be duly understood.
From its understanding comes that “Kingdom of God” in each heart, of which the Lord spoke in His gentle preachings by Tiberias — a kingdom of fraternal love, whose light is the only element capable of saving the world, which is heading toward the ravines of destruction.
And the true apprentices, the sincere believers in the power and mercy of the Lord, await, with their obscure labors, the advent of the Christianization of humanity, when men, free from all sectarian symbols of separability, will be able to understand, integrally, the hidden marvels of the Christian work.
In their painful trials of modern times, when almost all moral values suffer the insult of the broadest subversion, these heroic and humble spirits know, in their hope and in their belief, that, if God permits the practice of so many absurdities by the powerful of the Earth, who become drunk with the wine of authority and ambition, it is because all these struggles represent nothing more than painful experiences, to hasten the general comprehension of the divine laws in the future.
And, serene in their resignation and in their sincerity, they also know that the lessons of the Gospel are not dead symbols and they await, full of confidence in the spiritual world, the luminous dawn of human rebirth.
In this blessed task of spiritualization, Brazil walks in the vanguard. The material to be employed in this service does not come from the sources of production originally earthly, but from the invisible plane, where all the constructive ascendants of the Homeland of the Gospel are elaborated.
These modest pages constitute, therefore, a humble contribution to the elucidation of the history of Brazilian civilization in its march through the times. Their sole objective is to prove the excellence of Brazil’s evangelical mission in the concert of peoples and that, above all, all its achievements and all its deeds, free from the miserable trophies of bloodstained glories, had their deep origins in the spiritual plane, from where Jesus, through the loving hands of Ishmael, watchfully follows the evolution of the extraordinary homeland, in whose heavens the stars of the cross shine.
They are also a cry of faith and hope to those who remain stationed halfway. Dictated by the voice of one who has already crossed the dusty and sad roads of Death, they are addressed to my companions and brothers of the same community and of the same family, exclaiming:
— Brazilians, let us stack away, forever, the homicidal weapons of revolutions!...
Let us consider the spiritual value of our great destiny.
Let us ennoble the homeland in the fulfillment of duty through order, and let us translate our dedication through honest work for its greatness!
Let us consider, above all, that all its achievements must deserve the luminous sanction of Jesus, before they are fixed in the backstage of the transitory and precarious power of men!
In days of trial, as in hours of happiness, let us be united as brothers in a sweet alliance of fraternity and indestructible peace, within which we must await the clarities of the future.
It is not for us to remain stationary, under any circumstance, but rather to march, always, with education and with accomplishing faith, toward Brazil, in its admirable spirituality and in its imperishable greatness!

No creature walks without support before God.
Even though the eyes of the body find only walls, silence, and night, the soul never remains abandoned when it inclines itself, with sincerity, toward good. Around every afflicted heart, invisible hands work in secret, inspiring courage, pacifying thoughts, diverting steps from dangers that did not even come to be known.
The beings of light do not make a fuss. They do not arrive with noise, nor do they impose their own will. They approach like a discreet breeze in the hour of anguish, like a good thought that arises after prayer, like unexpected strength at the moment when the person believed they could not continue.
God does not forget anyone in the midst of the trial. Loneliness, seen by matter, may be only the sacred interval in which the spirit learns to listen better to the voices from Above. Many tears shed in a closed room were gathered by spiritual benefactors even before anyone on Earth knew of the pain.
Trust a little more.
Humble prayer opens a passage where revolt raises walls. Patience lights clarity where despair wishes to darken everything. Good practiced, even small, calls elevated companions close to the one who decides not to harden their own heart.
No sincere tear is lost. No honest supplication remains without an answer. No step taken with love remains without help.
When tiredness weighs heavily, remember: God sees what the world does not see. And where your strength seems to end, divine mercy begins to lead you with tenderness.
