Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Wrath and Mercy

When, on a fine day, we enter certain forests where the canopy is not very dense, both shadows and light are visible on the ground. Here and there, a shaft of light that has managed to make its way through the foliage intensely illuminates a stone, a bug or a …

Dona Lucilia

Uncertain Human Solutions, Efficacious Divine Interventions

Jesus says in the Gospel that “every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Mt 7:8). And those who have recourse to the benevolent intercession of Dona Lucilia have found the gates of Divine Providence not only open, but …

Mary, God’s Paradise

Guarantee of Holy Church’s Triumph

Over the centuries, the Lord “has shown strength with His arm” (Lk 1:51) against His enemies, sending providential men and women who have saved His people by means of admirable feats, in which the supernatural factor has always been decisive. Nevertheless, in many circumstances, the action of divine omnipotence was …

With sword in hand

St. Joseph - St. Lazarus House, Mairiporã (Brazil) St. Joseph is a figure closely united to the battles fought for the good, and he is called to help those who wage them. Although little seen as a warrior, he should in fact be invoked as a true crusader, with sword …

The Voice of the Popes

True Fraternity
Perhaps never in the past have we seen, as we see today, the minds of men so occupied by the desire both of strengthening and of extending to the common welfare of human society that fraternal relationship which binds and unites us together in consequence of our common origin and …

Ardent Devotee of the Lord’s Passion
Who is not moved to contemplate Him who went about on earth doing good (cf. Acts 10:38), being the object of more hatred, scorn and outrages than has any man ever been in history? For today’s generations, so accustomed to a life aimed at avoiding suffering, it would perhaps cause …

The Sword of the Spirit and the Shield of Faith
During this first quarter of the year, the coronavirus remains the dominant theme. The successive norms on this issue generally present a one-dimensional and not always “scientifically correct” approach. Some even cause bewilderment… not to mention the doses of “fake news” that circulate with the aim of deceiving public opinion. …

“Death to the Nazarene!
We are deeply moved to read in the Holy Gospels how, when Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the people, he solemnly declares: “Behold your King” (Jn 19:14). But the response of the crowd gathered there – incited by the attitude of the high priests and clearly driven by demonic influence …

How to Scale the Most Glorious Mountain?
Leafing through the pages of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we come across a very important affirmation: “God created everything for man, but man in turn was created to serve and love God.”1 This is the glorious summit to which Providence calls us! However, to reach it, a climb …

Gospel Commentary

God Manifests His Mercy Even in Chastisement!
Jesus said to Nicodemus: 14 “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so …

Church and World Events

Church and World Events
The annual NGO Open Doors report states that more than three hundred and forty million Christians in the world suffer persecution because of their religion, at high, very high or extreme levels. This is equivalent to saying that one in eight people who profess the Christian faith face this distressing …

St. Catherine of Bologna - “His glory will be seen upon you”
Visitors to the bustling Italian city of Bologna will find many palaces and historical and buildings there, including those dedicated to its ancient and renowned university. But near the city centre, one is sure to come upon a tiny and charming chapel, where the abbess of the Corpus Domini Monastery …

Do Not Permit the Demons this Outrage!
As I entered the straight street from which the Vatican dome can be seen, I saw another Angel seated calmly upon it. On his left arm he carried a spool with a very long chain. A link from one end of the chain was slipped onto a finger of his …

The Church of Christ and the “church” of Barabbas
Jesus’ mission was a great re-conquest and for this reason, in his famous Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius of Loyola portrays Him calling everyone to enlist under His banner. Before ascending Calvary, this Supreme Ruler went out in search of the “lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Mt 15:24), exorcized …

Two Kinds of Combat
In a small but prosperous town lived two young friends, Rodger and Simon. They always attended Mass and Sunday School at Mother of Mercy Parish with Fr. Albert. This old priest edified all the town’s inhabitants and won their affection by word and example. He was a true father to …

A Golden Chain Uniting Heaven and Earth
The bell announces the moment for Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament. Silently, the religious take their places in the pews of the chapel, ready to receive the graces proper to this liturgical act. After intoning the Pange lingua, the celebrant takes the monstrance and traces out a broad sign of …
