Father Rossi is based in São Paulo city, where he was born and studied. He preaches at the Santuário do Terço Bizantino to enormous and enthusiastic crowds, and has promoted the use of the so-called byzantine rosary for praying. One of his masses, celebrated at soccer stadium, had more than 70,000 attendees.
Father Rossi has been very important for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement in the Catholic Church in Brazil (the largest number of faithful in the world), which has lost in the last decades a significant number of adherents to the protestant evangelic churches. By adopting some of the charismatic features of these churches, Father Rossi and his acolytes have been able to win back or at least to retain a part of his brethren. Traditional Catholics in Brazil, however, do not always approve of these changes.

The lyrics to Padre Marcelo Rossi's song "A Ele A Glória" can be interpreted as a declaration of praise and worship to God. The use of the words Alfa, Omega, principio e fim make reference to God's omnipotence and his role as the beginning and the end of all things. The repetition of "sim Ele é" reinforces the belief in God's existence and his divine nature.
The lyrics also refer to God's beauty and his role as the "lirio do vale" (lily of the valley) and "estrela da manhã" (morning star), which are both metaphors used to describe Jesus Christ. The singer expresses a desire to praise God forever and to acknowledge his sovereignty over all things with phrases such as "A Ele a glória, a Ele o louvor, A Ele o domínio, Ele é o Senhor."
The song's message ultimately highlights the idea of surrendering oneself to God and acknowledging his power and greatness. It encourages listeners to worship God with all their heart, mind, and soul.
