The Virgin Mother’s Admiration and Affection

As we meditate on the relationship of Mary Most Holy with her Divine Son, still a child, let us consider her adoration, as a creature, towards her God and Creator and, at the same time, the affection of that heavenly Mother towards her only and incomparable Son. Being a model …

Dona Lucilia

Motherly and Infallible Assistance

Sudden healings, anonymous donations and unexpected solutions... How can these things be explained? For a more naturalistic spirit, they may seem the work of mere chance, but for souls who have had recourse to Dona Lucilia’s intercession, the answer is clear: they reveal not only the hand, but also the …

Nova et Vetera

Incomparable Model and Master

The elevation of our Father and Founder Don Bosco to the honour of the altars,1 which aroused unspeakable universal enthusiasm and total confidence in his power of intercession, has heightened in my heart the already lively desire to see the good Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, who are also …

My child, have confidence in Me. I want to give you that which you do not have the strength to obtain. Pray to Me; I am your Mother.

Mary, God’s Paradise

From the Distant Orient...
While the Holy Family was returning to Bethlehem after the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem, many miles from Judea a caravan of illustrious individuals was also travelling towards the City of David.

The Voice of the Popes

“Become Like Children”
The remembrance of the actions performed by the Saviour of the human race will be of great help to us, dear brethren, if we make this object of our Faith the ideal for our imitation. Indeed, within the sequence of Christ’s mysteries, the very miracles are graces and stimuli which …

Voice of the Church, Voice of France
The human voice has an extraordinary capacity to express inner dispositions. The thunderous roar of a military general transmits the strength and courage that characterize a good commander and instils courage in the soldiers that follow him. In contrast, a mother’s manner of speaking, whether in correcting or caressing her …

“He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed”
The Book of Isaiah is the lengthiest of the Old Testament prophetic writings. Its sixty-six chapters, rich in theological and spiritual content, make it a true catechetical work. In the midst of all of this wealth, a small passage may go unnoticed, but it is a magnificent lesson in God’s …

Instrumental Music in the Sanctuary
When the simplicity of ferial days gives way to the splendours of the liturgical solemnities, man’s gifts and senses are harmonized in acts of adoration which allow the soul to be imbued with the divine and to manifest, through melody, his love for the Creator. The harmonious voices of a …

Gospel Commentary

Where Does Jesus Live?
35 John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” 37 The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following Him and said to them, “What are you …

Church and World Events

Lives of the Saints

St. Anthony - Father of Monastic Life
On mountain heights or desert expanses, men full of fervour discovered heroic ways of living in solitude as a means of uniting themselves more closely to God. This lifestyle was chosen by many Christians in the early centuries of the Church and later developed into the various forms of religious …

“I see my God reflected in nature”
On a pleasant afternoon, in the soft and melancholy light of the close of the day, a group of young boys who, with Thomas, were being educated at the Monte Cassino Monastery were amusing themselves. St. Thomas Aquinas - Church of the Blessed Sacrament, Quebec Suddenly, one of those innocent …

Admiration and Slavery
If we could sum up in one word what moved the souls who gathered in throngs around Jesus, it would be “admiration”. Indeed, after the narration of the countless portents – miracles of healing, resurrection, exorcisms, etc. – the Evangelists are insistent in revealing the general state of wonder: “And …

Story for Children

Awaiting the Return of the Royal Caravan
It was a bitterly cold and fateful night, when the silence of that desert place was suddenly broken by the frantic cries of the tribesmen living there. Women ran desperately to gather their children around them, while the men strove in vain to defend all that was dear to them. …

Where the Magi Once Trod...
Southeast of the Dead Sea, the fascinating ruins of a city carved in stone can still be seen today, which for centuries remained hidden in the inhospitable desert of Edom. To reach it, one has to walk along a narrow gorge twelve hundred metres in length, winding between rocky walls …
