Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

On Pilgrimage Within a Gaze

I know no countenance equal to this one. I have it right in front of me and, moved by an inveterate habit of observing and making everything explicit for my own purposes, I gaze at it attentively. And suddenly I perceive that I am entering it. Indeed, this unique expression …

A Message Received with Love and Devotion

One day, Plinio was in gymnastics class at St. Louis College, where he studied.1 As he would later recount, the area was framed by elegant and graceful bamboo trees, planted with well-aligned and symmetrical regularity on a ground covered with pure white sand. Contemplating that magnificent arrangement of nature, he …

Dona Lucilia

Assistance in Any Situation

The more we learn of the countless favours that Dona Lucilia obtains for those who have recourse to her intercession, the more clearly is the certainty formed in our minds that she is, in fact, an instrument of God to help all those who still struggle in this valley of …

I Will Fight for Your Love

Lord God of hosts, who has said in the Gospel: “I have come not to bring peace, but a sword”, arm me for the fight. I ardently desire to fight for Your glory, but I implore You: enliven my courage… Then I will be able to exclaim with Holy King …

Mary Most Holy: Crown of God’s Miracles
God Ineffable – whose ways are mercy and truth, whose will is omnipotence itself, and whose wisdom reaches from end to end mightily, and orders all things sweetly – having foreseen from all eternity the lamentable wretchedness of the entire human race which would result from the sin of Adam, …

Educating Oneself and Others for Freedom
In continuity with the previous reflection on the need for justice and on its intrinsic requirements,1 I would now like to spend some time on another sensitive topic of perennial interest: freedom. The intimate connection between these two pillars on which our life (the only one that has been granted …

The Promise of Abraham in the Hands of a Woman
Forming one Heart with her Divine Son, “the First-born of all creation,” in whom “all things were created, in Heaven and on earth” (Col 1:15-16), the Blessed Virgin is the axis around which the events of history revolve. God modelled all of creation on Jesus and Mary, and any forms …

Sacred Slavery of Love
Situated at the confluence of two modest waterways – the Meu and the Garun – which flow among the oaks of Brittany, the peaceful town of Montfort still seemed, in the middle of the 17th century, to preserve the sturdy granite faith on which its glorious history had been built …

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 …

Gospel Commentary

Spirit of Love and Peace
Jesus said to His disciples: 23 “Whoever loves Me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 24 Whoever does not love Me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine …

Blessed Margaret Pole - The Price of Integrity
At the break of dawn on May 27, 1541, the Countess of Salisbury was told that her last hour had come. Her long and unjust captivity in the dreaded Tower of London was over. In defence of her innocence, her sense of justice still led her to protest against King …

Born to Found and to Govern
Mother Lestonnac amply possessed the mental and moral qualities that she deemed indispensable to carry out her difficult functions.

Faithful Spouse of the Holy Spirit
In Paradise, Adam and Eve lived the sacred nuptials sealed by the Most High. Concord reigned between them, with the promise of fruitfulness and dominion over creation (cf. Gn 1:27-28). Created in God’s image, man and woman were united in one flesh in a state of innocence (cf. Gn 2:24-25). …

The Pretentious Candle
Ding-dong, ding-dong, rang the church bell, loud and clear. Its tolling invited the faithful to prepare for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that was about to begin. The altar boys were already standing in silence at their posts, waiting eagerly for the celebration to commence. The zealous sacristan verified …

Mary’s Indestructible Chain
“I will put enmity between you and the Woman, and between your seed and her seed” (Gn 3:15), the Creator decreed after the fall of our first parents. It is a war waged between two irreconcilable adversaries: the race of the children of the Virgin under the orders of their …
