“Like an immense army setting out upon receiving its orders, the Spirits of the Lord, who are the powers of heaven, have fanned out over the entire face of the earth. Verily I tell you that the time has come in which all things must be reestablished according to their true meaning in order to dissipate the darkness, to confound the proud and to glorify the righteous. The great voices of heaven res
ound like trumpets, and the choirs of angels have assembled together. Men and women, we invite you to the divine concert; may your hands take up the lyre; may your voices be as one, and like a sacred hymn expand and vibrate from one end of the universe to the other. Men and women, brothers and sisters whom we love, we are here beside you; love one another also and say from the bottom of your hearts in obedience to the will of your Father who is in heaven: Lord! The Spirit of the Truth (Instruction communicated through mediumship means, summarizing the true character of Spiritism and the objective of this work, Preface of the Gospel According to Spiritism)
