Canção Nova in all her retreats, seeks to evangelize and to bring to the faithful a word of comfort, faith, peace, joy and to show that, when we have God on our side, all is possible. Hosana Brazil is an propitious in order that people may give to the Lord his struggles and victories and deposit in His heart their supplications.
According to Deacon Nelsinho Correa all the events realized in the community are an inspiration of God, and “Hosana Brasil” is this great moment of thanksgiving.
“Hosana Brazil’ is a praise to God and is one the two major events of Canção Nova; it is a great joy to participate in this inspiration of God. Luzia [cofounder of the Canção Nova] always has this inspiration on the proposal of this retreat, therefore, it is very good to see this event happening in a way that is so beautiful,” shared the missionary.
The apex of Eucharistic Adoration, celebrated during the event, happens when the prayer boat is enthroned in the Dom João Hipólito de Moraes Center, bringing your requests to millions of pilgrims during the whole year. According to the deacon these prayer requests have arrived to the community since the time in which Rádio Canção was adquired, in 1980 by Monsignor Jonas Abib. From that time, people shared this stories and asking their intercession.
“The prayer boat, was also a desire of Luzia, who formerly had a 11 hours of prayer. In the hour these people brought their request came the idea of the boat. All is providence of the Lord and the Word of God says: ” Ask and you will receive,” remembered the missionary, that for more than three decades is the friend of mission of the Founder of Canção Nova.
In this solemn moment of intercession all the faithful and missionaries of the Community pray together for the victories of God in 2013 and renew their faith and hope, because only in the Lord may we encounter the strength and the victory!
