Regal and Victorious Presence of the Divine Infant

A Child is about to be born in Bethlehem! What can we say about this event? When the Word became incarnate and dwelt among us, what was the state of humanity? It was most certainly very similar to our present situation. Despite the sin of Adam and Eve, there was …

Dona Lucilia

The “Sum of the Ages” of a Venerable Lady

On April 22, 1946, Dona Lucilia completed 70 years… Seventy years of life is a milestone. At this stage, all of the preferences and mannerisms that guided the unfolding of an existence are crystallized. In those who sought to follow the path of virtue, the “sum of the ages” shines …

The Duty to Cooperate with the Truth

Our message is inspired by the first page of the Gospel of St. John, in that prologue which is the theme of the sublime poem that sings of the mystery and reality of the most intimate and sacred union between the Word of God and humanity, between Heaven and earth, …

Friend of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Guardian of the Virgin

St. John the Evangelist was an eminently virginal soul, extraordinarily close to Our Lord, and most devoted to His Sacred Heart. More than an Apostle, he was a true friend of the God-Man. That is why Our Lord, before dying on the Wood, left to His beloved disciple an inestimable …

Called to Purity of Heart
Music speaks directly to the soul, tugging at the strings of our highest sensibility, modelling states of mind, often framing poems or prayers which acquire greater eloquence through the harmonization of instruments and voices. In the Principality of Wales, in the United Kingdom, there is a hymn from the 19th …

Conscience - “By this we shall know that we are of the truth!”
Let us imagine ourselves on board a troop transport plane, at an altitude of over five thousand metres. The passengers are paratroopers and are getting ready, like us, to jump for the first time from this altitude. It is impossible not to feel fear! Some entrust themselves to divine protection, …

Cease Fire!
The end of the 19th century revealed a dazzling Western civilization, which seemed to have materialized every dream of wealth and splendour hitherto imaginable. At the head of the brilliant Prussian army, Otto von Bismarck asserted: “I am bored; we have already done every great thing”; Germany was enjoying an …

Why Is Christmas Celebrated on December 25?
Countless events have occurred since man began to inhabit this earth, but few of them are relevant enough to deserve being passed on to future generations. Perhaps this is why so many have undertaken extraordinary measures to accomplish some feat that would give them a share in a much-coveted goal: …

Gospel Commentary

Time for a New Conversion
1 John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and saying, 2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” 3 It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: “A voice of one crying out in the desert, prepare the way of …

Blessed Maria Victoria Fornari Strata - “Everything passes and all is naught, except God”
In a beautiful Genoese mansion, the family doctor was giving the Fornari couple serious news. The situation of Giovanni Francisco, the youngest son of Girolamo and Barbara, seemed hopeless. In the midst of this drama, a voice full of candour strove piously to reassure the parents, saying that there was …

Converted by the Blessed Virgin
“On the night of January 19, I woke up with a start and saw before me a huge black cross, of extraordinary appearance and without Christ. I tried to chase away the image, but I could not, even by looking away. I cannot tell how long this lasted. Finally, I …

“For to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven”
The Incarnation of the Word is one of the greatest mysteries of our Faith, even more so when considered in the light of Christmas. In fact, how can the divine infinitude be confined within a child’s body? There is, however, a profound symbolism in God having become a Child. Firstly, …

A Good Mother… and an Apple!
“Apples! Apples! Beautiful red apples! Of every size, large, medium and small! Sweet and crisp! Beautiful red apples! Apples!” cried Lucas. Poor fellow! He spoke of the beauty of his apples without ever having seen them, for he was blind from birth. Years ago, he had enjoyed the collaboration of …

Innocent Preparation for Christmas
As Christmas celebrations draw near, the gazes of some of the people with whom we fortuitously cross paths reveal a nostalgia, a spiritual thirst, a desire – perhaps subconscious – to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas. In today’s world, this festivity is presented under a wrapping of hustle and …
