A Grace that Marked His Life

On December 2 of 1967, Dr. Plinio was compelled to cancel the Saturday meeting he customary held for his disciples, leaving home only in the afternoon, to receive Communion at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. As he got out of the automobile, those who greeted him were shocked to …

Dona Lucilia

Maternal Dedication of Dona Lucilia

Dona Lucilia was also very careful with her children’s nutrition. She believed in the wise old concept that strong health is based on good nutrition. Therefore, she made every effort to ensure that Rosée and Plinio had substantial and appetizing meals set before them at the table. With loving care, …

The Voice of the Popes

The Father Loves You!

It may not always be conscious and clear, but in the human heart there is a deep nostalgia for God. St. Ignatius of Antioch expressed this eloquently: “There is in me a living water that murmurs within me: ‘Come to the Father.’”1 “Lord, show me Your glory,” Moses begged on …

Queen of the Divine Will

Due to a singular predilection, Our Lady participates in divine royalty in a “sui generis” way. God, as it were, gave Himself entirely to Her and entrusted to Her the sceptre of His power, so that She would govern creation, history and – oh, unfathomable mystery! – himself. In this …

Abortion Law: Law or “Abortion” of Law?
In his greeting at the end of the Regina Cœli of May 22, Pope Francis addressed the participants in the national Let’s Choose Life event with these words: “I thank you for your dedication in promoting life and defending conscientious objection, which there are often attempts to limit. Sadly, in …

Pledge of the Fulfilment of Promises
“My son, if thy mind is to enter the Lord’s service, wait there in His presence, with honesty of purpose and with awe, and prepare thyself to be put to the test. Submissive be thy heart, and ready to bear all; to wise advice lend a ready ear, and be …

Under Enemy Fire… and Mary’s Protection!
During the Great War, Europe set in motion its armed forces, among which the German army stood out for its considerable power. The circumstances in which the conflict developed forced the rival armies to keep their platoons entrenched on French territory for long months. And given the arduous need to …

When St. Michael Descended upon Ireland
As unlikely as it may seem, the rugged mountain-island seen on these pages is hailed as “a place sanctified by a thousand years of prayer.”1 Virtually lost in the sea, eleven kilometres off the Irish coast, Skellig Michael attracts some eleven thousand people a year who undertake a risky excursion …

The Miracle on the Vistula
Nothing seems capable of stopping the Russian advance. In Ukraine the red flag already flutters. Now the Communists head for Poland. After conquering the country, they will soon head west; they wish, after dominating the whole of Europe, to overpower America and Asia as well. The universal expansion of this …

Gospel Commentary

What Is the Glory of Heaven Like?
28b Jesus took Peter, John and James and went up a mountain to pray. 29 While He was praying His face changed in appearance and His clothing became dazzling white. 30 And behold, two men were conversing with Him, Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of …

Lives of the Saints

St. Peter Julian Eymard - Precursor of the Eucharistic Reign
A gaunt, white-haired priest of almost sixty years, convinced that he would never reach that age due to the rigours of a life dedicated to an apostolate in which he had kept nothing for himself, converses with a devoted spiritual daughter about this earthly existence already nearing its end. The …

“Return to My Heart, Which Is All Yours”
With what affection should we embrace and endure all our afflictions, out of love for Jesus, our Saviour, since He first bore them for love of us! Should they not be most sweet to us, since they have already passed through His most gentle and loving Heart? What a horror …

New Heavens and a New Earth
The symphony of creation begins with a solemn first movement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gn 1:1). According to the biblical account, each part of this divine melody was good; only its whole was considered optimal; that is, Heaven and earth only reached their perfection …

Story for Children

What Is Your Worth?
The sun has already set. We find ourselves in an urban district like any other, in the everyday environment of a family home – a fourth-floor apartment of a tall building. After hours before his notebook, a thousand incomplete ideas crowd young Andy’s mind, but not a single sentence has …

Nobly Sacral
It is a noble room, but it does not belong to a palace; it is distinctly sacral, and yet not a chapel. In this atmosphere one feels joy, without hearing laughter; there is light without exaggeration, a beauty that does not turn the spirit from the most elevated thoughts. Comfortable …
