The Great Law of Mercy

When we have the opportunity to pore over the history of antiquity, before the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we get the impression that a deep night then reigned over the world, with a dreadful density of darkness, devoid of all goodness and harmony in relationships, and all understanding …

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 …

Conversion: An Initiative of God

The Creator’s Conversation with His Creatures

When we analyse the work of creation, it is striking to note the exuberance of generosity manifested by God throughout the universe, from the smallest pebbles to intelligent creatures, Angels and humans. We see this in mineral nature, whether in the enormous quantity of grains of sand in deserts and …
