Abstract: The objective of the article is to gain a deeper insight into of some biblical passages inspiring the Centennial Celebration of the diocese of Florianopolis. The main theme is “The gift you freely received is to be handed it over to others as a free gift”; a subordinate theme is “Disciples and missionaries of Jesus Christ”, and “The Lord is among us”. Attention is drawn to the fact that the good deeds we put into practice is due to sheer grace as “the things the LORD has prepared for us”. Lastly, the recommendation to the churches drawn from the Book of Revelation is to be taken under advisement by our Church in its Centennial Celebration: “Listen to what the Spirit is saying to us!” (Rv 2,7).
