The Apostolate of Suffering

Jacinta’s mission reveals to us the need for expiatory victims who, with their suffering and the sacrifice of their lives, collaborate so that the words of Our Lady will find fertile ground in the hearts of men. We can therefore comprehend how this apostolate of suffering is truly irreplaceable, and …

A Gate of Heaven Opened for the World

The apparitions of the Blessed Virgin to St. Catherine Labouré took place in 1830. The most important of them was on November 27, when Mary revealed the treasure of heavenly gifts destined for the world with the spreading of the Miraculous Medal. We must remember that, at that time, along …

Inexhaustible and Transforming Mercy

Our Lady is present in the uninterrupted struggle that each man wages against his defects, to acquire greater virtues. And even if we do not remember her, Mary intercedes for us from the heights of Heaven, with a mercy that no kind of sin can ever exhaust. For it is …

Regal and Victorious Presence of the Divine Infant

A Child is about to be born in Bethlehem! What can we say about this event? When the Word became incarnate and dwelt among us, what was the state of humanity? It was most certainly very similar to our present situation. Despite the sin of Adam and Eve, there was …

Friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Guardian of the Virgin

St. John the Evangelist was an eminently virginal soul, extraordinarily close to Our Lord, and most devoted to His Sacred Heart. More than an Apostle, he was a true friend of the God-Man. That is why Our Lord, before dying on the Wood, left to His beloved disciple an inestimable …

The Authentic Manner of Exercising Authority

Command, understood in its strict sense, is the power of a person invested with religious or civil authority – whether military or merely administrative – that gives him the right to say to a subordinate: “Think in this way, because this is how one should think!”, “Act it in this …

Called to Render Great Service to the Church

There are two positions of God in relation to men. Some fall under what we call general providence; others under what we call special providence. Divine Providence is that supreme perfection of wisdom by which God conducts events. In view of the way things are, He disposes them according to …
