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 …

May the Lord Grant You True Humility

If you are gladdened by the fact that you feel small before God, very well; but it seems to me – forgive me, for I am nothing – that it would be more perfect not to rejoice in this. It would be better to pay no attention to yourself. The …

Goodness Personified

If God is offended by sin, then the Saviour is glorified by the forgiveness that destroys it. He would seem to want to flood the prodigal sinner with His gifts. [...] Go then, my soul! [...] As soon as you feel ill, please do not hesitate to go immediately to …

Our Readers Ask

I noticed that when priests consecrate the Host, they drop a fragment from it into the chalice. I would like to know what this means according to the Church and what your impression was the first time you did it. This gesture originated in the early centuries of the Christian …

Priests in Time and in Eternity

For centuries, the Levites sacrificed countless victims in the Temple. On the Altar of the Cross, however, the Redeemer united in Himself the Priest and the Victim in a single and eternal offering (cf. Heb 7:27). By promising His earthly presence until the consummation of time (cf. Mt 28:20), Christ …

The Church’s Greatest Treasure

Tasting wounded us and tasting heals us Surpassing all fullness of generosity, exceeding all measure of love, [Jesus Christ] offered Himself as food. O singular and marvellous generosity, where the giver comes as a gift, and what is given is wholly identical to the giver! He therefore gave Himself as …
