Brothers, your noble purpose relights the Lamb’s presence in these lands.

Formerly, where there was hope of peace, we spread hate and a lot of innocent bloodshed.

We arrested souls in the burning hate that extends up to now. It is will not be possible, without Jesus' infinite help, we conquer with weapons of pardon and fraternity, those brothers we exiled in the abysmal regions.

The vivifying light that accompanies you, it is the lighthouse to clean up the Brazilian Land!

We did not disdain God with our arbitrary actions deprived of human reason for the extermination of Indians and later for the enslavement of black people.

We judged ourselves bearers of divine power to exploit and expand our territory.

The horrors of conquering new lands still echo in our souls impeding us of ascending.

It has arrived the time, we must quit the debts in order to free our souls.

We beg pardon for everyone we hurt in the past, because on the cross, we found the true sense of living and then we transformed our arbitrary actions into humility, charity and pardon.

Directly, we did not practice violence against our human brothers; we served and shared with the Portuguese Realm the ideal of exploring to enrich us.

Jesus is the Way; Life and Truth to renewal us.

Save Brazil! Save Jesus!
