We found the text below in the book "60 Years of Priesthood of Father Jos\u00e9 Neto," parish priest in Ita\u00fana, in the early 1940s. The excerpt has been transcribed faithfully from the original. Check it out:<\/p>\n
It was Father Eust\u00e1quio, who at the time served God in the parish of the Carlos Prates neighborhood, which today bears his name, in Belo Horizonte, who around 1942 blessed the cornerstone of the Companhia Nacional de Ferro Puro (National Pure Iron Company), which was planned to be established in Ita\u00fana, on land that had been part of Colonel Arthur Vila\u00e7a's farm, during the administration of Mayor Dr. Lincoln Nogueira Machado, when the Municipality of Ita\u00fana would contribute the land.<\/p>\n
Father Eust\u00e1quio stayed at the residence of Dr. Ant\u00f4nio Augusto de Lima Coutinho, and the day after his arrival, a naturally curious girl, while at Dr. Coutinho's house, looked through the keyhole of the guest room and saw that his bed was untouched and that he was sleeping on the floor.<\/p>\n
Leading this project in Ita\u00fana were Dr. Lincoln Nogueira Machado, Dr. Ant\u00f4nio Augusto de Lima Coutinho, Arthur Contagem Vila\u00e7a, and others. Since Banco do Brasil SA did not provide resources for the project in Ita\u00fana, the funds were applied in Volta Redonda (S\u00e3o Paulo). The cornerstone, along with newspapers from the period, coins, and other collections of documents from that time, were then transferred to the location where Father Luiz Turkenburg had planned the new church, around 1958.<\/p>\n
Later, in the late 1940s, Geraldo Alves Parreiras decided to establish a neighborhood called Vila Padre Eust\u00e1quio, where the Companhia Nacional de Ferro Puro (National Pure Iron Company) had been located, also creating the Itatiaia Steelworks and Ferg\u00e1s (a gas company).<\/p>\n
Father Eust\u00e1quio's visit prompted him to return to Ita\u00fana to preach at a spiritual retreat for the mothers of Ita\u00fana, during the first year of Father Jos\u00e9 Neto's parish ministry, on July 26, 1943.
\nEach participant received a small card with the words 'being a loving mother is not about fulfilling all your children's wishes and letting them grow up without culture, like weeds in a field. Being a true mother is about caring for your children's health and well-being, without forgetting their childlike soul. It's about correcting their flaws while they are children. It's better that they cry as children than later, when they are grown men.'\u2018<\/p>\n
These brilliant words, full of sound truth, should be read and pondered by certain mothers who, by showering their children with excessive pampering, make them willful and ill-mannered, and prepare them for a path that in the future becomes a true ordeal of bitterness.<\/p>\n
