The Perfect Priest

Iam going to speak about the fullness of the priesthood. And this consideration takes me back to the darkest night of time, to an historical digression that comes upon man in perhaps the hardest and most crucial and period of his existence on earth. We imagine today that we are …

Love of Authority and the Priesthood

At the time when my spirit was being formed, the Revolution insisted a great deal on a terrible point, which it no longer insists on today because it thinks it has won the battle. When I was young, the battle was almost won, but there was still something left that …

The Voice of the Popes

Dispensers of the Mysteries of God

The human race has always felt the need of a priesthood: of men, that is, who have the official charge to be mediators between God and humanity, men who should consecrate themselves entirely to this mediation, as to the very purpose of their lives, men set aside to offer to …

Speak to Jesus for Me

My Mother, when Jesus was within your womb, You had countless things to say to Him; consider, however, the trifles I say at the moment when I receive Him in the Blessed Eucharist! Therefore, I implore You: speak for me, my Mother, and tell Him what I would like to …

A Point for Mediation…
Located on the island of Martinique, a small French overseas department of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, the city of Saint-Pierre was known for its luxury and comfort.

“Madwoman of the Blessed Sacrament”
Throughout history, God has raised up souls with a special love of the Eucharist, who enrich the Mystical Body of Christ by their example. For the Church is not like a museum that only preserves the excellence in which it was established by its Divine Founder; rather, it is a …

Letters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus to Her Spiritual “Brothers” - Lessons in Confidence and Wisdom
Like a modest lamp burning day and night before the Blessed Sacrament, whether in a humble countryside chapel or in a magnificent cathedral, the heart of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, simple but brimming with fervour, burned at every moment with holy longings before the Divine Guest of her …

The Nobility of Jesus, Ideal of Christian Perfection
“Anyone who wishes to give love must also receive love as a gift,”1 says Benedict XVI. From a sacramental perspective, the priest fulfils this supreme precept of loving: every day, after pronouncing the words of the transubstantiation at Holy Mass, he holds in his hands the glorious Body of Jesus …

Perfect Obedience - “Domine, ut videam”?
“But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem” (Acts 9:1-2). …

Priestly Celibacy - The Value of a Chaste Soul
Among the topics currently in vogue, that of priestly celibacy stands out. Since no explicit directive in the New Testament can be found in this regard, controversies erupt, opinions diverge, and celibacy has come to divide the waters in the ecclesiastical field. In the Latin Church, priests are forbidden to …

St. Clotilde - “Your Faith Is Our Victory”
Sitting at the bedside of a newborn struggling against death was a young barbarian king. His head in his hands, his face half-covered by the long hair that symbolized the superiority of his origin, he did not hide his despair at the fate of his son: “Of course this child, …

To Serve God in Every Walk of Life
Know, my daughter, that on this earth you will not have more than one good day out of a hundred bad ones, because you must be like my Son Jesus […]. Above all, you must apply yourself to fulfilling His will, while constantly offering to Him your own, in the …

Priests of Christ and Ministers of the Antichrist
Christ, the archetypal priest, raised the ancient priesthood to a new level. As the Good Shepherd, He spent His life doing good (cf. Acts 10:38); as the Bread of Angels, He gave His own flesh in Communion; as the Immaculate Lamb, He offered Himself on the Altar of the Cross …

The Memoirs of a Grain of Wheat
Dear friends, let me tell you the story of my life. My name is wheat, just like all the other countless members of my family. It all started when I was a tiny seed: the sower lovingly planted me in an immense field and began to observe my growth. My …

Living Monstrances
A faint light inside the sacred enclosure invites us to intimacy with God, in recollection and prayer. It comes not from the large basilica, but from an inviting side chapel where we find Jesus in the consecrated Host, exposed for adoration in the monstrance. The interior of the chapel is …
