A former archbishop of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church of the Kharkiv-Poltava diocese, Ihor Isichenko, one of the country’s most eminent religious leaders, joined the Greek-Catholic Church of Ukraine in communion with Rome earlier this year. He was followed by a good number of his parishes, which now form part …

Way, Detour and Shortcut

Perhaps the Saviour’s most frequent exhortation was: “Follow Me.” He used it not only to call the Apostles – like Matthew at the tax office – but also to invite the rich young man to embark on a new path. In the first case, the publican rose immediately, abandoned his …

Yesterday, a Year Ago…

As this month marks one year since the departure into eternity of the founder of the Heralds of the Gospel, Msgr. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, we turn our gaze to that dawn of November 1st, experiencing two seemingly contradictory impressions. On one hand, it seems like yesterday that we received …

Do the Saints in Heaven Truly Intercede for Us?

In the selfish and self-serving world we live in, it is difficult to find a true friend who remains permanently willing to help us, without expecting anything in return. We might even be led to believe that this kind of person no longer exists… But yes, they do! And there …

Without the Cross, There Is No Salvation

St. Thomas Aquinas, the only author whose doctrine the Catholic Church has taken as her own (cf. ST. PAUL VI. Lumen Ecclesiæ, n.24), argues that the main element of Christian doctrine is “salvation effected by the Cross” (Super I Epistolam ad Corinthios, c.I, lect.3). Jesus Himself prepared His disciples for …

Strengthen Your Brethren

Men participate in Divine Providence through their mission and their actions. And in this the Apostle Peter occupies a pre-eminent place, since he alone has been entrusted with the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (cf. Mt 16:19). Peter has primacy among the Apostles: he is the first on the …

Mercy That Embraces Justice

Among the Stoics, mercy was considered a human weakness or even an ægritudo animi, a disease of the soul. In this sense, it would not behove a truly virtuous person to feel compassion for the misery of others. For Aristotle, someone facing misfortune would only be worthy of empathy if …

Fundament for the Certainty of Victory

The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the most solemn commemoration of the liturgical year, is the feast of the absolute victory of good over evil, which gives meaning to all of history. For God, who is outside of time, it is an eternal present; for us, the present celebration …

Divine Pardon and the Mother of the Embrace

St. Thomas Aquinas (cf. Summa Theologiæ. II-II, q.30, a.4) questions whether mercy is the greatest of all virtues. In fact, by repeating Hosea’s exhortation – “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice” (Hos 6:6; Mt 12:7) – Jesus would seem to indicate this. However, following St. Paul (cf. Col 3:14), the …

The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand!

When we speak of conversion, long-ago figures typically come to mind, such as Paul of Tarsus, Magdalene and Augustine – all of them saints who were converted after forays into the abysses of sin. As for the nature of conversion, many commentaries have been made about the term metanoia, which …
