An Ever-Growing Love of the Church

To know the Church in all its resplendence it is necessary, at a certain point, to sense in one’s inmost soul what it is. And the author uses the term sense because, in fact, it would be something like a mystical tasting, hearing, seeing, breathing and, even a touching of …

Dona Lucilia

A Voyage Marked by Suffering

Far across the ocean, the Old Continent beckoned all the lovers of sound tradition and refined customs. And these were not in short supply in the “São Paulinho” of the Belle Époque. While Dona Lucilia, as we have seen, figured in their first ranks, esteem for Europe was neither the …

The Voice of the Popes

Divine Munus in Human Hands

“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church” (Mt 16: 18). What exactly was the Lord saying to Peter with these words? With them, what promise did He make and what task did He entrust to him? And what is He saying to us – to …

The Reward for Fidelity

When Mary and Joseph arrived at the Temple, they were met by the priest Simeon who, “inspired by the Spirit”, had gone there. Our Lady presented him with her Son, who was most amiable towards him. The venerable old man experienced an indescribable joy at receiving God himself in his …

Letters From a Wise and Prudent Virgin
For some decades now the age-old habit of writing letters has been disappearing. Since ancient times, written on papyrus or parchment and even on clay or stone tablets, these means of communication have always reflected the customs, education and mentality of the peoples. The millennia-old stone stelae, tablets on which …

The Exile of Avignon and the Great Western Schism - Holy Even in Exile, Immortal Despite Schism
It is said of Cardinal Ercole Consalvi that, in conversation with an opponent of the Catholic religion, he jokingly asked: “How do you think you can destroy the Church if not even we cardinals have managed to do it?…” Historical or not, these words contain a profound truth. Two thousand …

Upon the Rock That Is Peter
Technology has made astonishing progress in the field of armaments over the past decades. Innovations of this kind are frequently reported, even more so in the context of the threatening conflict in Ukraine. Nevertheless, a nation’s military power cannot be reduced to the mere production and stockpiling of weapons. In …

The Brilliant Trajectory of an Historic Pope
An admirable theologian, a shrewd diplomat and a most influential ecclesiastic: these are some of the attributes of the one who has just departed this life, Pope Benedict XVI. Hardly anyone could more aptly fulfil all the requirements for the office of Supreme Pontiff in our times than Joseph Ratzinger; …

Gospel Commentary

“Be Reconciled with God!”
Jesus said to His disciples: 1“Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. 2 “When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in …

Church and World Events

Church and World Events
Christmas celebrations have been the occasion for acts of vandalism against the Church. In the chapel of the Hospital of Barbastro, Spain, aggressors opened the tabernacle and scattered the Sacred Hosts on the floor. The diocese expressed its “sadness, consternation and condemnation” for the event, while the competent authorities seek …

Lives of the Saints

St. Walburga - A Soul Ever Faithful to the Divine Will
It is certainly not without reason that Britain has often been called the Isle of Saints. In fact, from the earliest times of its evangelization, countless saints were born in these northerly regions. These saints have often distinguished themselves for their missionary zeal, which did not restrict itself to the …

Nothing Halfway Pleases Me: Either All or Nothing
Oh, if only mortals – especially my priests and religious souls – knew how much I am wounded and displeased by the indifference, separation, distrust and small inveterate imperfections [of those] who belong to Me in such a special way! No one, or perhaps only those very few souls that …

Peter, Who Are You?
On one occasion, in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked His disciples: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” (Mt 16:13). Some thought John the Baptist; others Elijah, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. However, Simon Peter, without hesitation and in the name of all, declared: “You are the …

The Lamb, the Pigs and the Mud
It is the peak of summer. “Oh, what a hot day!” the farm animals complain. Horses are lazy; donkeys stubbornly refuse to budge; the cows do not want to leave the corral; the hens cluck crossly… Everyone is uncomfortable, it is true, but at least there is enough water and …

Vox Prophetica
Journeying over mountains and through valleys, following winding rivers and rough or paved roads, one scene that commonly meets the traveller’s eyes is that of a tower in the distance. Drawing nearer, it is possible to recognize a cross on it. The stained-glass windows cannot yet be seen, the sound …

On the Death of Benedict XVI - The First and the Last Pope
That afternoon in Rome, Vatican Hill was the stage of an unprecedented execution: before the eyes of onlookers, a Galilean was crucified upside down. Given the barbarity of the method, it may have been surmised that he was a cruel criminal. In reality, he was the only mortal capable of …
