OPENING OF THE WORK OF SAINT MICHAEL

• Three rosaries (Our Father and Hail Mary)

• The Key of Harmony

• The Oração of Sebastião Mota de Melo

As the hymn "Sun, Moon, Star" fills the air, the President firmly holds three candles in their right hand, each symbolizing the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars. Just before the hymn is sung three times, the President places these three candles on the table alongside the three customary ones. If the table has six points, the candles can be positioned at each tip of the table.

While standing, the participants sing five hymns:

• "Sol, lua, estrela"

• "Com o poder do céu"

• "Em Pé Firme na floresta"

• "Devo Amar Aquela luz"
