A Message Received with Love and Devotion

One day, Plinio was in gymnastics class at St. Louis College, where he studied.1 As he would later recount, the area was framed by elegant and graceful bamboo trees, planted with well-aligned and symmetrical regularity on a ground covered with pure white sand. Contemplating that magnificent arrangement of nature, he …

Maternal Zeal that Demands Justice

Much more than any Angel or Saint, Our Lady desired at every step to fulfil God’s will, to fully conform herself to Him. She wanted the goodness of her Son to be received in countless hearts that would consent to suffer with Him in order to win an even greater …

Final Acts of Piety

To break the monotony of each day following the same routine as the last, Dr. Plinio took his mother from time to time for a walk along Alagoas Street,1 where they lived. He never took her so far as Buenos Aires Square, thinking it unwise to cross the extremely busy …

What Is the Glory of Heaven Like?

28b Jesus took Peter, John and James and went up a mountain to pray. 29 While He was praying His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white. 30 And behold, two men were conversing with Him, Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of …

A Grace that Marked His Life

On December 2 of 1967, Dr. Plinio was compelled to cancel the Saturday meeting he customary held for his disciples, leaving home only in the afternoon, to receive Communion at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. As he got out of the automobile, those who greeted him were shocked to …

The Archetypical Apostle

Jesus appeared to the Eleven 15 and said to them: “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they …

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Is Alive!

It is inherent to the human spirit to seek the unum of things, that is, the intelligence strives to reach a point that defines and synthesizes what has been known in separate details and analysed in its minutiae. These pages, without a doubt, are no exception to the rule.1 As …

Maternal Dedication of Dona Lucilia

Dona Lucilia was also very careful with her children’s nutrition. She believed in the wise old concept that strong health is based on good nutrition. Therefore, she made every effort to ensure that Rosée and Plinio had substantial and appetizing meals set before them at the table. With loving care, …

Guides along God’s Path

In every well-organized religious house there is a little-noticed but indispensable figure: the bursar. What does his role consist of? Supplying the community with everything it needs for its subsistence: provisions, general supplies and food. He is the “man of providence”, whose concern it is to manage the treasury in …

A Soul of Harmonious Contrasts

Due to her magnanimity of soul, Dona Lucilia easily adapted to the will of others. Nothing disturbed her well-ordered inner equanimity. It was reminiscent of certain characteristically Brazilian rivers of the Amazon Basin. Tranquil in their banks, they serenely surround and cover the obstacles that arise along their course. Those …
