Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Converted by the Beauty of the Church

The literature of our days, bound to sensuality, is in a clear thematic crisis. This crisis is truly the most serious problem that all modern literati have to struggle with. The cinema, the novel, the novella, poetry – in short everything is beset by a tremendous crisis in storylines. Plots …

Dona Lucilia

Excellent Educator, Loving Mother

Dona Lucilia’s words were never empty of meaning and appeal. However, even more than by her words, it was through her attitude and way of being that she instilled in others, especially in her children, the desire to do good and to follow the path of moral perfection. A living …

Our Participation in the Passion of Christ

A Rare Pearl

The physiognomy of St. Gemma Galgani expresses something other-worldly. She is a physical, corporeal representation of the valiant woman of the Gospel: a rare pearl, of incomparable price, worth going to the ends of the universe to find.

The Grandeur of Failure
The 21st century. A time in which man’s existence has been made easier on all fronts by the overwhelming progress of science; almost all his needs are met simply and quickly. However, there is one inevitability that technology, however advanced, cannot prevent: failure! It is impossible to find a man …

To Be a Victim Soul: A Calling for Everyone?
“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (Jn 15:13). In this sublime teaching, the Divine Master invites us to imitate His own example, for He came to earth to give His life as a ransom for many (cf. Mt 20:28). …

“And I shall be whiter than snow”
Throughout the centuries, Catholic piety has bestowed beautiful titles upon the Blessed Virgin, carefully collected by the Holy Church and preserved to this day.

The Spirituality of St. Bernadette Soubirous - Equilibrium, Faith and Humility
It is impossible to think of the city of Lourdes today without associating it with the striking image of the shrine, overflowing with faithful who come there to implore a favour or a grace from God through His Blessed Mother. But the reality was quite different on February 11, 1858, …

Mary’s Counsel

Church and World Events
The catastrophic earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale that struck Turkey on February 6 left tens of thousands dead and missing, and immersed the country in a desolate panorama. However, one sign of hope stood tall amid the general devastation: in the city of Alexandretta, a statue of …

Blessed Michael Rua - The Victory of Don Bosco
The continuation and perpetuity of a Religious Order depends to a great extent on the actions of its members and their fidelity towards the person chosen by the Holy Spirit to establish a new charism in the Church. Accordingly, throughout the history of foundations, God does not fail to raise …

These Are Precious Gifts!
May the perfect love of God reign in our hearts. Please do not think that the distance between us and my apparent silence mean that I have forgotten your charity towards me and the charity I owe you. Your letter tells me that your wishes are just as strong and …

The “Chinese River”

Like Grains of Sand?
Exposed to the scorching heat of the sun, which blazes at its maximum intensity, these almost insignificant granules of infertile earth make up the deserts and beaches spread over the face of the earth. Incapable even of retaining the high temperature that it receives for hours, sand is scattered in …
