“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers”. (Act 2:42) They are a community, with apostholic character, evangelization is their goal. They seek reconciliation with the Lord through His huge divine mercy, finding the true joy, experiencing Him in adoration, before the Blessed Sacrament. We were born in the Roman Catholic Church, with the Holy Spirit as our guide. His breathing created our group. We are totally obedient to our legitimate Pastors and Pope John Paul II. We are also part of Catholic Charismatic Renovation. We have devotion to Mary, Mother of Jesus and we believe that she is the co redeemer; and that in Heaven, she intercedes on our behalf. She is our example of chastity and obedience to God. “To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary”. (Luk 1:27); “And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word”. (Luk 1:38) The Catholic Community Grace´s Channel is before anything a gift from the Holy Spirit. Men and Women by the experience of a communion of life, prayer and service as an special component and as a mark of this different way to live, looking for sharing their lives with others and being signs of that, testifying the capacity of following Christ, in His Holy Spirit gift, creating a new fraternal communion. We have conviction that the Community has been firmly built in the Scriptures and the Sacraments, especially in the Eucharistic celebration, as well as the Sacrament of Reconciliation, through which Our Lord heals and forgive us. In this way the Canal da Graça, makes God’s will for the good of all. And the first fruit is the CD “CORAGEM!”.
