“For those who believe, no words are necessary,
for those who do not, no words are possible.”
The Casa de Dom Inácio is a spiritual healing centre located in the small town of Abadiânia, about one and a half hour’s drive from Brasilia. It was established by João Texeira de Faria, a powerful trance medium better known as John of God (João de Deus in Portuguese) over 45 years ago. It was named for the Entity who serves as its patron, St Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits.
People flock to the Casa from all over the world, seeking help with ailments of all kinds - physical, emotional and spiritual. No-one is turned away. Many people report extraodinary healings. Most experience profound changes during their visit or after returning home.
It is believed that the healing is performed by discarnate spirits (called “Entities” in Brazil) including St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, King Solomon and many others who work on the crowds assembled for healing and in the meditation rooms.
