We all have been living in challenging times, individually and collectively, in the different areas of human life. Therefore, our search for inner Peace, for answers that lead us to a better existence, is permanent and increasingly necessary.
So, how to balance mind and Soul on our journey? How to nurture the noble ideals in our hearts, persevering in good deeds without faltering?
Well, the Temple of Good Will (TGW), with its mystique, beauty, and Ecumenical Spirituality, is always remembered as the place where those seeking Peace, comfort, and reinvigoration have their prayers answered.
It is open to everyone 365 days a year, welcoming people of all religions or none. And on October 21, 2023, it will celebrated its 34th anniversary. Learn more about the monument and its anniversary program.
On October 20th and 21st, thousands of pilgrims will participated in the celebrations of yet another anniversary of the monument, the Spiritual Headquarters of the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit.
“The Divine Power of the First Charity” is the slogan that marked this event, inviting everyone to feel the Friendly Presence of Jesus and of the Spirits of Light, as well as to reignite the flame that encourages us every day to do Good, regardless of our age, profession, country, or religious belief.
The founder of the TGW, José de Paiva Netto, explains this concept, of which we should never let go:
“For at all times, I seek to nurture in my Soul the First Charity*—that impetus that magically drives us forward when we find the Good Ideal of our lives: Jesus, the solace of the suffering, the preventive medicine that the world so desperately needs.”
* First Charity — Letter from Jesus to the Church in Ephesus (Apocalypse 2:4).
October at the TGW
Throughout the month, the monument offers a special anniversary program. Here are some highlights:
Cultural and Artistic Exhibition — Jesus Is the Religion of Life
José GonçaloBrasília (Brazil) — Artistic works at the Cultural and Artistic Exhibition — Jesus Is the Religion of Life.
On October 1st, the Cultural and Artistic Exhibition — Jesus Is the Religion of Life opened to the public attending in person and/or virtually. It presents ecumenically and unrestrictedly who Jesus is, as well as the Religion of God, of the Christ, and of the Holy Spirit.
“Jesus is the Religion of Life, daily life with its challenges and bitterness. Only with Him, step by step, can we overcome the world's pains. Jesus is not a figure of speech. He is a palpable reality, divinely influencing the human brain and heart,” as defined by Paiva Netto.
Ecumenical Act

The Act celebrated Ecumenism Day, observed on October 21st since 2003. In it, religious leaders, representatives of various fields of human knowledge and of civil society organizations come together to exchange ideas in order to build a more solidary, fraternal society that respects human beings above all.
The Religion of Universal Love is a pioneer and has made a significant contribution to the dialogue among various religious traditions.
