St. Radegunde - A Life of Splendid Contrasts

It was during the fifteenth century that John, Duke of Berry, brother of King Charles V of France, asked for a fragment of St. Radegunde’s body to be placed in his chapel in Bourges. With authorization obtained, the tomb was opened and to the surprise of all, the body was …

Admiration: Consolation Amid Perplexities

Well known is St. John of the Cross’ Dark Night, in which he explains the process of purifying the imperfections of the soul, “preparing it for the union of love with God.”1 However, I do not think that the master of spiritual life will mind if, in these pages, instead …

St. Isidore of Seville - The Last Father of the Western Church

Slowly, deeply, and solemnly, the bells of the Church of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem, the most important in Seville, announced the departure from this world of Archbishop Isidore, admirable for his knowledge, his writings and, most especially for his upright life.

House of God and Gate of Heaven

Few figures inspire more respect than the patriarchs of the Old Covenant – Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – whose story, by determination of the Divine Holy Spirit, was perpetuated in the pages of Sacred Scripture. Their lives were full of promise and symbolism, and the misfortune that Jacob faced in …

In the gardens of the Academy, comfortably seated and reflective, master and disciple still seem to be meditating: Socrates, his chin supported in his hand, prepares to bring into the world yet another concept; at his side, Plato, with an attentive ear, waits patiently. However, tourists come and go, days …

The Revolution in the Tendencies - The Most Subtle of Revolutions… and the Most Effective

Contemplating the gradual fading of the lights of Christian Civilization, in which its bastions were systematically attacked and left in ruins until almost nothing remained of them, the Catholic soul kneels before this rubble, once surrounded by splendour and promise, and its love seems to ask of those now lacklustre …

St. Genevieve - Shield and Glory of Christian Civilization

It was the year 423, a troubled time, sown with wars and invasions, when a dying civilization was emitting its last gasps.1 The Roman Empire, once almost indestructible, threatened to collapse under the furore of the barbarian invasions. Between treaties and military manoeuvres, it had achieved another period of peace; …

St. Bernardine of Siena - A Voice for a World in Decline

A young man is walking through the winding streets of Siena. The city, busy with its work and intrigues, pays no attention to him. Of medium build and manly bearing, with a pleasant countenance and a cheerful look, he has many friends and they all esteem him; yet he is …

St. Paula - The Masterpiece of the Doctor of Scripture

If all the members of my body were to be converted into tongues, and if each of my limbs were to be gifted with a human voice, I could still do no justice to the virtues of the holy and venerable Paula.”1 This is how St. Jerome begins one of …

Expiatory Victim for the Holy Church - He Suffered with Christ, to Be Glorified with Him
