Rejoice and Admire!

When we consider the words of the prophet Isaiah chosen for this Sunday’s second reading – “The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, […] and shall flourish like the lily” (35:1) – we see how often God takes pleasure in suspending the rules He created for nature. …

The Day to Help Those Who Have Left Us

The Day to Help Those Who Have Left Us

The Church can be compared to a magnificent palace with three interconnected levels. On the highest level is the Church Triumphant, in which the saints – those who did violence to Heaven (cf. Mt 11:12), entered “by the narrow door” (Lk 13:24) and heard the sweet call: “enter into the …

The End of My World

The End of My World

The King’s Victory and the Sceptic’s Defeat

The King’s Victory and the Sceptic’s Defeat

“The sceptics may sneer. But the sneer of sceptics has never been able to deter the victorious march of those who have faith,” stated Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. And reading the Gospel chosen for this solemnity (cf. Lk 23:35-43) we exclaim in the same vein: the impious may mock …
