Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Called to Render Great Service to the Church

There are two positions of God in relation to men. Some fall under what we call general providence; others under what we call special providence. Divine Providence is that supreme perfection of wisdom by which God conducts events. In view of the way things are, He disposes them according to …

Dona Lucilia

Innocence Throughout Her Life

The Ribeiro dos Santos family into which Lucilia was born, with their eminently traditional makeup, were monarchists to the core, in the same way that they were Catholics. The affective and psychological dispositions that made them feel at home in the monarchist ambit were similar to those they felt when …

The Voice of the Popes

Cohesion in Diversity

From its very origins the Church has been conscious of the transformation brought about by Christ’s redemptive work, and has joyfully proclaimed it. Through her, the world has become a radically new reality (cf. 2 Cor 5:17), in which people have rediscovered God and hope (cf. Eph 2:12), and have …

Prelude to the Gifts of God

For the soul who trusts in Providence, long waits are the prelude to the great gifts of God, foretelling the fulfilment of the great promises made by the Most High. The patriarch Abraham is an example of this: when he had already reached a hundred years of age, God promised …

God Wants to Be with Us!
Work, worries, misfortunes, achievements, dreams of success and distractions of every kind often completely absorb our attention, immersing us in a vicious and constant dissipation… Yet Scripture says: “Non in commotione Dominus” (1 Kgs 19:11), the Lord is not in agitation. Caught up in the turmoil of earthly concerns, we …

Gabriel-Antoine Mossier - Soldier of Mary
There are few stories as fascinating as those that tell of the mysterious relationship between Creator and creature, especially when they manifest the sublime fatherliness of God, intent on saving His sinful child by any means. Such accounts, however, are even more admirable when they feature, in a discreet but …

Eucharistic Devotion of St. Thomas Aquinas - Living Example of Theology
Curious, Friar Dominic of Caserta began to observe a monk who daily passed through the monastery at a very peculiar hour. Before Matins – therefore, in the first hours after midnight – he would steal quietly out of his cell and return just as the bell rang for prayer, so …

“Come, Follow Me”: Ideal of Every Christian
Jesus looked lovingly upon a young man who practised the Commandments and invited him: “Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me” (Mk 10:21). This call to abandon everything in order to follow the Divine Master first …

Servant of God Marcel Van, CSsR - Apostle of Love in Vietnam
“My God, if that’s how it is, I give up!” It was October 1942. With this cry from the heart, a fourteen-year-old youth directs his steps to the study hall of the seminary of Quảng-Uyên, run by French Dominicans. Despite his simple, friendly and even charismatic character, we find him …

Gospel Commentary

There Is No Faith without Justice
1 Jesus told His disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said: 2 “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. 3 And a widow in that town used to come to him …

St. Hedwig - Destined for Combat and Victory
The meaning of the name Hedwig indicates a woman destined for “combat and victory.” A duchess of fine features and delicate bearing, she lived up to this signification, for she took up the struggle of resignation in the face of God’s designs and bravely faced the sufferings that devastated her …

Children of a Father’s Suffering
Grace always comes alongside sacrifice. [St. Paul of the Cross] purchased his children with prayers, tears and pain. Satan made him pay dearly for them. [One spiritual son] cost him untold efforts, making him journey from Rome to Argentario in the dead of winter. Weary as he was from his …

Way, Detour and Shortcut
Perhaps the Saviour’s most frequent exhortation was: “Follow Me.” He used it not only to call the Apostles – like Matthew at the tax office – but also to invite the rich young man to embark on a new path. In the first case, the publican rose immediately, abandoned his …

The Ensemble Is Greater
Dear reader, allow me to pass on something that recently caught my attention. While I was praying the Rosary, walking through the grounds of my community, I came across a beautiful flowering shrub. It was a hibiscus, known scientifically by the name Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, which evokes a special aspect of …
