Devotion to Our Lady: Essential Requirement for the Counter-Revolution

Let us begin by setting out here some thoughts contained in Revolution and Counter-Revolution.1 The Revolution is presented in this work as an immense process of tendencies, doctrines, political, social and economic transformations, derived in the last analysis – I would be inclined to say in the very last analysis …

Dona Lucilia

A Stepping-Stone for Devotion to Our Lady

Dona Lucilia’s company was an oasis for Plinio. From her he learned, besides elevation, the giving of oneself taken to its ultimate consequences. The following comment is indicative of what an extraordinary aid she was to him, without which he would not have attained to the practice of virtue: “One …

Fatima: expectations and contemporary relevance - Majestic Promise, Bearer of Peace and Light!

The present crossroads of anxiety and discontent reigning throughout the whole world can be viewed as an effect of impiety and moral corruption, which in turn produce the great “challenges of the world: materialism, relativism, secularism.”1 We are suffering from a conflict of numerous disorders. An immense oppression weighs upon …

Heroic and Pure Virgin

St. Joan of Arc shines in the Church’s firmament as one of the most fascinating reflections of Our Lady. The Maid of Domrémy can be counted among the last, and perhaps the most glorious, flashes of that Catholic pugnacity typical of the medieval age. Hers is an exceptional vocation, for …

Decisive Hour in History
“Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction” (2 Cor 1:3-4), and with the Lord may She be blessed, whom He has made the Mother of mercy, our most loving Queen …

The Sign of Divine Love
For contemporary man the inevitability of suffering is an evident reality, but it is difficult for him to understand its necessity for salvation and above all the profound benefits it confers on those souls who accept it with good dispositions. In the face of pain, questioning and non-conformity tend to …

“What time is it?”
Nature has always been a means of communicating with the Creator; like a mirror, it allows man to glimpse something of the uncreated beauty. Taking the firmament as an example, with the varying nuances we contemplate from dawn to dusk, we note that it offers enchanting scenes: the seriousness of …

Our Lady of Iverskaya - Guardian and Gate of Heaven
Nicaea, in the 9th century. The persecution of the truth has become violent. In the hands of a widow lies the fate of a precious icon. There are only two options: either allow the sacred painting to fall into enemy possession and be desecrated, or throw it into the sea. …

Fr. Frederick William Faber - Marian Theologian and Director of Souls
Nineteenth-century England was the setting and mirror of significant ideological, material and religious transformations that in the subsequent centuries spread to other nations in Europe and, to a large extent, worldwide. From the ideological point of view, the winds of the French Revolution – whose testing ground was the favourite …

Gospel Commentary

Torrent of Marian Graces
39 Mary set out and travelled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, 40 where She entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 cried out …

St. Pius V - Ardent Defender of the Truth
The pale moonlight illuminated the rooftops of the Eternal City, which silently slept. A peculiar procession of men and women of the most varied ages and conditions was advancing through the dark streets: priests, monks and nuns, nobles and peasants. They were hurrying to cover the last stretch of the …

Purity that Inspires Love and Trust
Philip’s purity, if we consider it deeply, was only another aspect of his love of God, and this is true of all purity that is perfect and persevering and virginal. We see in the entire life of our Saint that the practice of this virtue is one ray of the …

The Great Return
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, the Creator made the universe according to the exitus-reditus scheme: creatures left God’s hands (exitus) in order to return to Him (reditus). In the Old Testament, the Lord facilitated this “return” through the covenant with Israel. It was up to the chosen people to respond …

If You Don’t Want Any Help…
There was once a monastery at the top of a hill, in the region of the Alps. It was small but very blessed and well cared-for, surrounded by breath-taking scenery! In the winter, nature was completely silent and covered with snow. But when spring came, the birds sang all day …

A Splendour Denied to Poor Mortals
Mysteries. Our life is full of them; creation itself, which cannot be entirely comprehended by the limited human mind, has them in abundance. Among these mysteries, what seems to most awaken human wonder is the mark of grandeur which the Divine Artist has imprinted on certain of His works, so …
