Interview

Why has Canção Nova Community appeared?
D. Alfonso de Miranda who had received the Document Evangelli Nuntiandi, read it and underlined me all the document, due to the importance of this, he called me at his office and said me:" This document is very important and I need to do something about it. Start it with youth because with them it will be easier ". For me those words were the foundation's words, by the words of the bishop.
D. Antonio had pointed the chapter 43 which tells about catechumen for young e adult. He said an another key word: " because those whom lived the baptism they are not evangelized". I brought later a project which we call catecumenato. We worked for 2 years and as result the young was so prepared that I could launch a challenge to live in a community for doing what I had already been doing with them. - The Evangelization! Today we are a company of fishing that lives for the Gospel!


Why was it called "Canção Nova"?
I was impressed when I saw in the old testament and later in the new testament (Revelation) how many times it was told: "sing to the Lord a new anthem " and I had perceived that it was the anthem of the new land; it was the anthem of the new humanity, and God placed it in my heart. The word " song " is much more "Brazilian" than "anthem", then it was ended spontaneously in Canção Nova it translated into English: "New Song".
