It was in the backlands, where life was nearly nothing, in a small village far from civilization, already vanished from the map, that this remarkable figure appeared, this servant of the sick and the despised, this selfless doctor who helped everyone without any distinction, for to him, we are all brothers and sisters.
Unpretentious and devoted to the practice of goodness, he spared no effort to become a healer of souls, overcoming countless material obstacles to study and better serve the community around him.
Always solicitous, he still today, from among the stars, assists all who turn to him, pouring miraculous drops into a glass of water, bringing relief to those who ask with hearts full of hope and faith, so that their ailing and weakened bodies may be cleansed.
A modest and dedicated servant, who could already have moved on to higher spheres more fitting to his greatness of soul, but who chose to remain close to the earthly plane to continue helping his suffering brothers and sisters of body and spirit.
Devoted helper of the Greater Plan, may these words of ours reach you as a humble plea. We ask that you embrace all those in need of your spiritual remedies, and in particular [insert the name of the person to be helped], so that they may attain health of the body, which is the vehicle of their soul and now lies afflicted.
But may not only the body be restored; inspire them also, bring to their ears words of courage so that both body and soul may harmonize and health may triumph over suffering and pain.
However, if you find yourself amid many requests to attend to in the spiritual realm, we ask that you send one of your blessed messengers, so that in your name, your benevolent assistant may come to the aid of these brothers and sisters who suffer and weep.
Knowing, then, your devoted mission that continues to be to serve the sick of the Earth, always with the permission of the Almighty, I am certain that your powerful medicine will bring to these suffering souls the complete recovery of their health.
Immeasurable gratitude, tireless servant of the afflicted, Doctor Bezerra de Menezes!
