Thursday - 4th Day of Lockdown
In the videoconference of the City Council...
— I do not believe it is fair for the mayor to make lives every day. This harms the other candidates for mayor.
— Renato, may I?
— Yes. Councilman Marcos.
— The mayor is not making lives as mayor, but as pastor. Just as the priest and the miss Nany are also doing. To feed people's souls, because in the face of this calamity that we are living in, any help is needed.
— Dear councilor Marcos, he can put someone else in the church to do the lives. The fact that he is in evidence bothers the opposition.
— You say that because you are in opposition!
— Councilman Judas, please ask for the floor. Let's keep order in that house. Second, I am here bringing the discomfort not only of the councilors of this house. But also from supporters of the opposition at the national level.
— President, may I?
— Yes. Councilwoman Clara.
— I believe that before we judge the mayor's attitude. We must see if it is possible to maintain the election for a scheduled date or to postpone it. — Regina raises her hand.
— Yes. Councilwoman.
— I wanted to say two things. First, we are not in a period of electoral ads, so there is no problem with the mayor making lives. Now when we enter that period. Yes! It will be a problem. I ask councilman Marcos to alert the mayor. Second, I agree with Councilwoman Clara to vote on the postponement of the elections. And my vote is for postponement.
— Councilwoman Regina, if the majority vote yes. Me, Renato Rosa, the president of that chamber, can only take the order at the state level. But the decision is at the national level. We have a hierarchy to respect. If everyone agrees on Tuesday, we make this vote. — Everyone agrees and the session was closed.
On Pastor Elijah's Live...
— Thank you for the support of always Moses, may God continue to bless that nightingale voice that you have. After this song we will open the Bible in Acts chapter 16 verse 25.* — He reads the passage. — Here we have Paulo and Silas in prison. Just to locate them. The two were arrested for expelling the demon from a slave. And her bosses started to lose money. I worked on this excerpt two weeks ago. Today I want to talk about the sequence Paulo and Silas in prison.
I get a lot of complaints about being "stuck" at home. — He makes quotation marks with his hands. — Paulo and Silas did not complain. Neither why they were arrested, nor the prison. They prayed.
And if you doubt that prayer can move mountains. Here prayer caused an earthquake. Earthquake that opened all doors. Did Paul and Silas run away? No. They stayed and waited for the jailer.
In this time that we are living. Do not doubt the power of prayer. Do not doubt that we can get out of this without anyone contaminated. We will respect isolation and trust God.
Hi! Marcos! After the live call you, my friend. Here we have Miss Francis asking for prayer. Let's all pray for her. Our Father...
In the Square...
— Mister Nestor, the market sent you. — The courier delivers snacks and juice.
— Thanks! God bless you. It seems that with the pandemic the people became more charitable. Tent, pillow, blanket, thermos and coffee. I even won an Easter egg. God thank you, keep people like that.
In the Priest House...
The phone rings:
— Hello!
— Priest, it's Elijah. How are you?
— Fine. What happened to you?
— Only you and Miss Nany can understand what I'm going through.
— Are you being attacked?
— Yes. They want to take my lives because I'm mayor.
— How long have you been a pastor?
— One year.
— Elijah, it is your job not to let any sheep run away from your flock. You can't do that without being in evidence.
— Will I have to stop being mayor?
— Or that. Or delegate someone to take your place. Talk to God.
— Thank you, always with good advice.
At night...
At Live Mass
— I want to start today's homily with a verse from Psalm 137: "

*Acts 16: 25 - 28. Excerpt from the Bible copies from: < http://thekingsbible.com/Bible/44/1 > . Acessed March 15, 2021.
"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled."
