Soul of gold and fire, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira shone and burned so much in his oratory, to the point that no one could discern which was the best of his speeches. In fact, pronounced since birth... Yes, an uncle of his was waiting for Lucília to give birth, when Plinio's loud, sonorous and harmonious cries made him exclaim: “An orator's cry!” We will now hear only the end of his speech to celebrate, in 1976, the heroes who fell in the fight against communism, during the Intentona of 1935. This tribute, promoted by him every year, was attended by high ecclesiastical, civil and military. “Prayer on the sesquicentenary”, an article published by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, in 1972, in “Folha de São Paulo”, is the sublimity in the description of this short video: O Mary, bless us, fill us with graces, and more than all, grant us the grace of graces: O Mother, intimately unite this Brazil of yours with you. Love him more and more. Always make the generous patronage you have given us more maternal. Always make the forgiveness you have always granted us wider and more merciful. Increase your breadth with regard to the goods of the earth, but, above all, elevate our souls in the desire for the goods of Heaven. Make us ever more lovers of peace, and ever stronger in the fight for the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord. So that, always willing to abandon everything to be faithful to him, the divine promise may be fulfilled in us, of a hundredfold on this earth and of eternal bliss. Oh Lady Aparecida, Queen of Brazil! With what words of praise and affection should I greet You at the end of this prayer of thanksgiving and supplication? Where to find them, if not in the Sacred Books themselves, since you are superior to any human praise? The chosen people prophetically exclaimed about you, words that we lovingly repeat here: “Tu gloria Jerusalem, tu læticia Israel, tu honorificentia populi nostro”. You are the glory, You are the joy, You are the honor of this people who love You.
