We Are All Called to Heroism

My interlocutor mentioned the heroism of the crusaders, the religious, the martyrs and a series of other forms of heroism. What is common among all of them? Between the heroism of the martyrs and that of the crusaders, for example? These could almost be called opposite heroisms, for that of …

Blind Trust in Supernatural Assistance!

In the course of our lives, it is not uncommon for us to encounter situations that are difficult or even almost impossible to resolve, and we are distressed to see the ineffectiveness of human solutions. On these occasions, the unfolding of events often surprises us by clearly showing how important …

The Church Cannot Silence the Spirit of Truth

Inspirer of the Victories of Good

“Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?” (Sg 6:10). The sacred text compares the Blessed Virgin to an army in battle array. Our Lady strikes terror into the powers of evil, for She unmasks …

The “Glorioso” - The Story of a Ship that Made History
The sea… an open book in which so many great and small stories are written! Some totally submerged, abandoned to their fate in the obscure and rare beauty of deep seas. Who would not like to know them? Others, unscathed by the waves of time, seem to defy the centuries, …

A Man Who Saved Christendom
The Island of Rhodes, 1523. Two gazes contemplate the same scene from contrary vantage points. One of them, full of hatred for the Cross of Christ, is on the beach, watching an enemy ship slowly navigating out to sea. The other, extremely idealistic, is in the stern of the ship, …

The Society of Jesus in Face of Persecutions - Resistance and Reaction!
A vessel facing a stormy sea, at risk of sinking at any moment and resisting the impact of the turbulent waves, can serve as an analogy to the career of some men and women who have marked the history of the Church and of nations by their heroic virtues. Such …

Nine Hundred Years Since the First Lateran Council - What if a Pope From the 12th Century Were to Make a Speech Today?
It would not be surprising if the reader – precisely on account of being someone in the habit of reading – has already carried out the following mental exercise: imagining what the reactions of a certain personage from the past would be if he were to suddenly appear in our …

Gospel Commentary

Source of True Life
3 The sisters of Lazarus sent word to Jesus, saying, “Master, the one You love is ill.” 4 When Jesus heard this He said, “This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5 …

Church and World Events
In the year marking one thousand years since the beginning of the construction of its abbey, France’s Mont Saint-Michel has been named one of the seven wonders of the world by the American magazine Condé Nast Traveler.

Lives of the Saints

Blessed Clemens August von Galen - The Lion of Münster
In order to lead the sheep of His flock safely to the eternal fountains, Our Lord Jesus Christ instituted watchful and wise shepherds, the bishops, who would instruct them and warn them of dangers. To them we can apply the words addressed to the prophet Ezekiel: “So you, son of …

Can I Be Forgiven?
I was preaching the novena of the Immaculate Conception. On the last day, I spoke about Confession and, without knowing why, I affirmed that God, in His infinite mercy, would even forgive someone who had murdered his own mother by putting poison in her food, if he repented and confessed. …

The Spring and the Sword
An old proverb rightly states that “weak men create hard times.” If this is so, the problems of the current age can be understood… Scenes that promote the culture of victimhood, such as reporters crying on live television or parents afraid to reprimand their children, would have been unthinkable until …

Saved by Two Boys and Some Watchmakers
Darkness covered the sky and silence reigned everywhere, except in one house, where the light of a candle pierced the shadows and the sound of voices broke the quiet. Inside, Admiral Sebastien de Bethune, the haughty leader of the Huguenots – the French version of the Calvinist heresy – was …

An Example of Resistance
I invite you, dear reader, to leave the practical affairs of daily life and rest a little in the lessons that God has left magnificently “written” in creation. Through contemplation, let us raise our spirits and dwell for a while with the supernatural. What is admiration, if not to find …
