A Prayer to Move the Heart of Mary

At the end of the 60s, it was Dr. Plinio's custom to invite some of his disciples, including some coming from other countries, to conversations on Saturday afternoons in the Giordano Pizzeria situated on Brigadeiro Luís Antônio Avenue. This simple and unpretentious location was for many years the setting for …

The Reward for Having Faith

“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth” (Gn 1:28), the Lord preached to our first parents, certifying that the generation of offspring is the main objective of the institution of marriage. For this reason, we can well imagine how hard it is for a God-fearing couple to be deprived …

The Voice of the Popes


Living Members of the Church

The Church founded by the Redeemer is one, the same for all races and all nations. Beneath her dome, as beneath the vault of heaven, there is but one country for all nations and tongues; there is room for the development of every quality, advantage, task and vocation which God …

Guarantee of the Church’s Triumph

The intervention of St. Joseph is ever more urgent, since it falls to him to restore sanctity in all its splendour in the Church and in society. If he is the true defender of the Bride of Christ, how can we not expect his help, all the more decisive as …

Original Sin and the Incarnation of the Word - Man Aspires to Divinity, God Subjects Himself to Humanity

As we contemplate the world around us, a question may arise: if God is the Designer of the whole universe, why did He not make it more perfect? How much more beautiful would be a creation without faults or defects: precious stones exposed to the light of the sun and …

Fasting and Abstinence

When asked why His followers did not fast as did those of John the Baptist and the Pharisees, Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then …

The Tribunal of Mercy

If there were a health clinic with physicians on hand capable of curing any disease without fail, there would be no need for advertising to make it the most popular in the world. Undoubtedly, the demand would necessitate the establishment of rules to avoid disorder and to allow the greatest …

Gospel Commentary


A Divine Lesson in Combatting Evil

1 Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert 2 for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over He was hungry. 3 The devil said to Him, …

St. Nicholas of Flüe - Spectacle for Angels and Men

The Swiss Alps: a superbly enchanting, joyous and peaceful landscape. On one of the slopes of the beautiful cliffs, a shepherd blows his horn to gather his herd. The sun is already setting. In the village, some distance away, the bells of the Angelus are ringing. The man stands in …

An Inviting and Radiant Purity

St. Casimir was so chaste that he communicated the desire to be pure to others. This is a beautiful thing, for we often meet people who are pure, but to whom Providence has not given the gift of making their purity communicative. Their purity is known, and they are admired …

Conversation and Conversion

At the cool of the day, Adam would speak with God in Paradise (cf. Gn 3:8). Created in His image and likeness, man communicated with God by means of dialogue, with all the admiration and trust of a son. Sacred Scripture does not record these conversations, but we can imagine …

A Delicious Dish… Stone Soup!

The war is over and the soldiers are returning home, not by plane or on horseback, but on foot. Since many share the same origin, they can at least count on each other’s company for the journey. Among them, six Italian soldiers set out for their hometown of Castelmezzano. Their …

In the ancient Campus Martius, for example, the imposing mausoleum of Augustus stands out, preserving the spoils of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Beyond the Roman walls are the catacombs, filled with the relics of …

More on Peace: How to Attain It?

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (Jn 14:27). Jesus Christ, in His infinite goodness, bequeathed this legacy to humanity, alerting the Apostles to a fact of capital importance: His peace is not that of the …
