Creators of the Pilgrim Portal of Hope
🕊️ “Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.”
The Pilgrim Portal of Hope was born from the profound experience lived by Maria Bernadete Miranda and her son Luiz Eduardo Miranda José Rodrigues, during their pilgrimage along the Path of Faith. Mother and son walked side by side, moved by faith in Our Lady of Aparecida, overcoming the challenges of the trail with prayer, dedication and trust.
It was during this journey—marked by silence, landscapes, tears, and gratitude—that they felt the call to share the beauty and spirituality of this path with other pilgrims. Thus was born the desire to create a space that would evangelize, welcome, and inspire all those who walk with hope.
🕊️ Maria Bernadette Miranda
A member of the Marial Academy of Aparecida (AMA), she is a profound student of Mariology and carries in her heart a living and loving devotion to the Mother of Jesus. Her academic and spiritual journeys are intertwined in the mission of forming consciences and cultivating faith, with firmness and tenderness.
🕊️ Luiz Eduardo Miranda Jose Rodrigues
A faithful devotee of Our Lady of Aparecida, he carries with him a discreet, persevering and profoundly Marian faith.
United by blood, faith and love for Mary, Maria Bernadete and Luiz Eduardo offer in this portal an extension of their own journey: a space for sharing, prayer and communion. A support point for all who, like them, are pilgrims of hope.
