To Be for Her as Elisha Was for Elijah

When Mary lives in someone, it is not She who lives, but it is Jesus Christ who lives in that someone. And to set limits to Our Lord would be truly absurd. Therefore, I should want an unlimited surrender to the Blessed Virgin. This surrender presupposes, first of all, fervour, …

Sublime Intimacy Between Child and Mother

The invocation of Our Lady of Good Counsel may appear, at first sight, not to bear much relation to the fresco. The latter portrays a Queen of a small Balkan country, which can be perceived in the figure, the ornaments, and above all in the distinctly eastern traits, with her …

Vibrant and Chaste Joys

“Let the Children Come to Me”

Jesus would say this not only in the sense of protection, but also of respect, of dedication, of admiration. “What a clean soul! What a pure soul! In seeing this child, I, God, the author and focus of all purity, contemplate myself. And I see in him a created reflection …

Maternal and Loving Acumen

Our century demands unrivalled astuteness […]. It is necessary, at all costs, to put an end to the disastrous naivety of supposing that every individual who confusedly outlines a vague and incomplete act of faith is implicitly a Roman and Apostolic Catholic worthy of the utmost trust. This mentality is …

Prelude to the Gifts of God

For the soul who trusts in Providence, long waits are the prelude to the great gifts of God, foretelling the fulfilment of the great promises made by the Most High. The patriarch Abraham is an example of this: when he had already reached a hundred years of age, God promised …
