Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

God’s Chosen Ones

I would like to reflect on one of the Beatitudes: “Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” (Mt 5:10). In each of the Beatitudes, Our Lord Jesus Christ sets forth a principle which is in accordance with the natural or supernatural …

Dona Lucilia

Incomparable Maternal Solicitude

“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it” (Sg 8:7). How well these words apply to Dona Lucilia! Would she, who spent her life loving God in her neighbour, do any differently after crossing the threshold of eternity? Now, one of the ways in which she shows her …

Vocation to Universal Motherhood

Just as a small cloud that appeared on the horizon prompted Elijah to announce a torrential rain, the sight of the Magi was all that the prophetic spirit of the Mother of God needed to foresee the birth of a new Israel, no longer formed on the basis of blood …

The Battle of Rocroi - A Crossroads in French History

As the Twig Is Bent, So Grows the Tree
The title of this article hearkens back to an old proverb1, referring to the need to care for a sapling from the start, directing its growth with stakes and removing undesirable shoots with pruning. Applied to man, the maxim correlates with the biblical dictum: “Train up a child in the …

From Persecutors to Condemned
The night of July 18 or 19 of 64 AD was the setting for the event that would mark the reign of Emperor Nero until the end of the world. A torrid summer oppressed the residents of Rome, the capital of an empire whose dimensions stretched to the limits of …

The Victory of Fidelity
There have been periods in history when Holy Church has shone before men with great splendour, like a queen ruling over her people firmly and sweetly; at other times, she has made herself small in the arms of her sons, hiding her wisdom and grandeur in order to be carried …

St. Alberic - Leader of a Monastic Rebellion
The newcomers were the subject of commentary throughout the region. Certainly, they were religious. But to what Order did they belong? Nobody knew. Some of the better informed claimed that they were disgruntled monks who, dissatisfied with their monastery, had decided to found a new house with different rules, and …

Only Those Who Lived at His Side
What history will never be able to tell, what it cannot possibly give to understand is his inner life, his continuous sacrifice – peaceful, gentle, invincible and heroic; his solicitude and his deep-seated love for us, his sons; the trust, esteem and veneration that he inspired in us; his great …

Justice Delays, But Never Fails
Justice is one of the divine attributes most often mentioned in Sacred Scripture. It is already evident in the first sin of Adam and Eve, through the maximum penalty applied by the Creator: the loss of grace and Paradise. Clemency was millennia in coming, but the reward was worth the …
