My name is Marcelo Paz Bezerra. I was born in São Paulo, in the marvellous and iconic neighbourhood of Penha, in the 1970s. I am the son of Manoel Paz Bezerra and Antonia Luzia de Araújo Bezerra – my pillars, now deceased, whose love and teachings continue to live within me as guiding lights. I am married to María Lucía Alegre Bezerra, my loving and devoted companion, and together we are the parents of Manuela Antonia Bezerra Alegre, a young woman of 15 whose Christian heart and dedication to serving others embody the most beautiful hope and promise for our family’s future. This personal story, both spiritual and human, is the root of my work and my path.
For more than a decade now, I have lived in Palma, the beautiful island of Mallorca, in the peaceful district of Foners, at the very heart of the city. Foners is a neighbourhood where one breathes the harmonious blending of cultures, and this diversity enriches my life and is reflected in my constant pursuit of faith and creativity. As a committed Catholic, I am part of the parish community of the Holy Trinity, where I find the spiritual nourishment and communion that sustain my journey.
From a young age, I felt that my mission was to walk tenderly and faithfully alongside today’s youth; a generation full of potential, challenges and dreams. As Saint John Paul II said, “You are the now of God!” – words that resonate deeply in my heart, inspiring me to dedicate my work so that the young, and all who seek, may find through art, faith and the word, paths to build a world more just, beautiful and true. This site is a tool for that mission: to awaken creativity, spirituality and hope in every visitor.
My journey has been marked by the constant pursuit of the soul’s perfection through writing, poetry, translation and mystical narration. I firmly believe that life, though brief and fleeting in the material sense, reaches eternity through the word that connects us to the divine and the human in its fullness. This is why I continue writing, not for myself, but for all who allow themselves to be touched by the mystery, who find inspiration in the stories that give meaning to existence, and who long for a message of hope, courage and love.
Here, in this space, I find a deeper meaning: to be a channel through which the seeds of the spirit may blossom in every heart. Contemplative silence, sought by many but discovered by few, is valued here as a true source of wisdom and inner peace. Truth is a daily invitation to authenticity, to selfless love, and to seek light even in the darkest hours. It is a call to look within oneself and recognise that, despite difficulties, every human being carries a divine spark capable of transforming the world.
Through my works, compositions and translations, I offer not only knowledge, but a living and sensitive experience of the mystery that dwells within us. This website is not merely a page: it is a meeting place where the visitor may feel at home, welcomed and inspired to continue their path with renewed strength. May this space serve to comfort, to enlighten, and to strengthen the hope of all who arrive here.
I invite you, dear reader and visitor, to journey through these pages with an open heart, allowing beauty, spirituality and the sacred word to rekindle within you the flame of faith and hope. Here you will find more than texts: you will encounter answers, questions that help you grow, and an invisible community that celebrates life and mystery.
Thus, following the path of the eternal, we join together in building a present where love and truth form the firm foundation of the future we long for. May this journey also be yours, illuminated by tenderness and by the courage to believe in the transforming power of the word and of faith.

In the tiny seed resides the beneficent germ, gathering for us the blessings of nature’s prodigality. In the block of stone, there are masterpieces of statuary. In the heart of the earth, there is the melody of the spring that quenches and regenerates it.Meanwhile, the orchard demands active and firm effort; the crystal-clear stream demands aqueducts to transport it pure to the plantation; the sculpted jewel demands the persistent and careful miracle of the mallet and chisel.Our spirit also carries within it the gene of Divinity. God is within us, in proportion to the extent to which we are in Him. But for divine light to shine through our human darkness, life’s educational processes must work within us on the rocky path of the years. Only a heart ennobled by the industrious understanding of work can reach the sanctifying heroism of the conquest of true Light. Only a cultivated brain can produce enlightened thought forms, acting in voluntary charity and readiness.Thus, let us interpret pain and work as if they were celestial artists working the Rough Stone that we are, seeking our perfection and the final delivery of the divine Work of Art that the Creator placed within each of us.Let us educate ourselves, and we will transform irrationality into intelligence, intelligence into humanity, and humanity into an angelic Universal Brotherhood.Let us meditate for a few minutes, this day, on the great responsibility we have to live as Brothers, for we are children of the same Father and Creator.A hugNever Give Up
As Saint Francis of Assisi taught, “Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” I try to do just that with my work: to let beauty, simplicity, and authenticity speak for themselves. I do not write to teach, but to share. I write as one who kneels before another’s pain. As Saint Pio of Pietrelcina said: “Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.” In that hope, I place every line, every page, every song.
I carry youth tenderly in my heart. To young people, as Saint John Paul II said, I want to enthusiastically repeat: “You are the now of God!” May they find in art, faith, and the word, paths to build a more beautiful, just, and true world.
