Learning From the Teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas

Today I would like to complete, with a third instalment, my Catecheses on St. Thomas Aquinas. Even more than 700 years after his death we can learn much from him. My Predecessor, Pope Paul VI, also said this, in a Discourse he gave at Fossanova on 14 September 1974, on …

Defender and Interpreter of the Franciscan Charism

Today I would like to talk about St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio. […] St. Bonaventure, in all likelihood born in 1217, died in 1274. Thus he lived in the 13th century, an epoch in which the Christian faith which had deeply penetrated the culture and society of Europe inspired imperishable works …

Divine Munus in Human Hands

“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church” (Mt 16: 18). What exactly was the Lord saying to Peter with these words? With them, what promise did He make and what task did He entrust to him? And what is He saying to us – to …

Mother, Queen and Patroness of the Brazilian people

Just as the Apostles, together with Mary, “went up to the upper room” and there, “with one accord devoted themselves to prayer” (Acts 1:13-14), so too we are gathered here today at the Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, which at this moment is our “upper room” where Mary, Mother …
