Our team, Journalist Dirce Ramiro and Special Diplomatic Envoy Cmd. Manuel Fernandez, had the honor of being received at the Mosteiro Ain Karim ( Ain Karim Monastery ) in the city of Jacareí by Father Antonio Maria, where we learned his explanation about Nossa Senhora do Caminho ( Our Lady of the Path) name and origins.
Igreja das Bem-Aventuranças ( Church of the Beatitudes )
The beautiful temple is a replica of the Igreja das Bem-Aventuranças ( Church of the Beatitudes ), in Israel, and is located inside the Mosteiro Ain Karim ( Ain Karim Monastery ) founded by the priest in 2000, to house the Irmãs Filhas de Maria Servas dos Pequeninos ( Sisters Daughters of Mary Servants of the Little Ones )
Father Antonio Maria received the image of Nossa Senhora do Caminho ( Our Lady of the Path) from Mexican nuns in Guadalajara, Mexico.
It is the Father Antonio Maria who tells:
“When I asked the sisters: what was her title? They said she didn’t have one, so I named her Nossa Senhora do Caminho ( Our Lady of the Path ), thinking that she is the one who guides us to always choose new paths and that are of God, of conversion and change”

Also worth mentioning the kindness, humility and also vivacity of young Mother Ismailda, who assists everything in the works of the Monastery.
Father Antonio Maria usally officiates at the Mosteiro Ain Karim ( Ain Karim Monastery ) every 11th of each month. Anyway, it is good to follow the activities and festivities of the Monastery on social media to know more about days and hours of celebrations, events and feasts.

Father Antonio Maria is a man who brings Peace through the Holiness he transmits.
In addition to the gift of his voice, which makes him one of the most famous singers in Brazil, his soft speech and at the same time with authority reminds us of the Historical Saints of the Catholic Church.
