St. Pio of Pietrelcina - A Kneeler, an Altar and a Confessional

Pietrelcina is a small town in southern Italy, surrounded by fertile but rocky land. Even today, walking through its narrow, unevenly surfaced streets, one can feel the atmosphere of bygone days. On May 25, 1887, this obscure locale became the birthplace of a boy, baptized by the name of Francis, …

Father of Christian Europe

Amidst silence, discipline and work, prayer, study and liturgical ceremony, the Benedictine Order “had …

Staying Home, in Our “Domestic Church”

In March, everything changed. Suddenly, events brought us back to a close-knit family life, typical of former times. Many of us are forced to stay at home all day; the children no longer go to school, although they have homework. We are together; we share every meal and every leisure …

Should the Church Keep Up with the Times?

In His first instructions after the Resurrection, Our Lord sent the Apostles to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and commanded them to teach all nations to observe what He had prescribed for them (cf. Mt 28:19-20). However, even before the Passion, the …

Martyrs of the 21st Century

On hearing the word martyrs, we are reminded of the Christians who in the past shed their blood for the Faith, especially in Rome. The Colosseum comes to mind, the enormous amphitheatre with its arena filled with blessings, the scene of so many holocausts during the first persecutions of the …

“Death to the Nazarene!

We are deeply moved to read in the Holy Gospels how, when Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the people, he solemnly declares: “Behold your King” (Jn 19:14). But the response of the crowd gathered there – incited by the attitude of the high priests and clearly driven by demonic influence …

Humanity Searches for Peace and Does Not Find It

As we meditate on Christmas, our minds – and even our ears – naturally recall the luminous and harmonious words with which “a multitude of the heavenly army,” suddenly appearing beside the Angel bearing tidings to the shepherds of the Redeemer’s birth, praised God, proclaiming: “Glory to God in the …

Moses, the Man Chosen by God

The chosen people underwent great sufferings in the land of Egypt, until God, in His infinite mercy, sent a man to free His own from the yoke of slavery. After Joseph’s death, a new Pharaoh ascended to the throne of Egypt, who enslaved the Israelites and made their lives bitter. …

A New Pandemic: the Intolerance of the “Tolerant”

“If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you,” Jesus said to His disciples. It is not surprising, then, that anti-Christian hate crimes are on the rise in various parts of the world. In China, the government continues to eliminate the symbols of our religion. In Anhui province alone, over five …
