Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Abyss of All Virtues

In the prospect of treating of a topic so dear to me as devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, my way of being would lead me to try to study, reflect and meditate until I have been able to know everything possible on the subject. In my opinion, this …

Aided by a Mother

We sometimes tend to think that, in order to be answered in prayer, we must formulate long and elaborate requests. However, the Saviour’s teaching is quite different: “And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their …

The Heart of Christ Crucified

“Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius”; “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His steadfast love endures for ever” (Ps 118: 1). So the Church sings on the Octave of Easter, as if receiving from Christ’s lips these words of the Psalm; from the lips …

The Sacred Heart Is Yours

She is, after God, and as much She could possibly be, living charity, living zeal. What would She not do to shed but a ray of divine life into a single soul! You desire, O Mary, to distribute grace. Very well; you will be its Mother. The very source of …

Reflections on the Sacred Heart of Jesus - “My son, give Me your heart”
One of nature’s most beautiful kinds of movement is the play of water throughout the universe. The clouds pour themselves out onto the ground below, watering and preparing the soil for the germination of plants, which embellish the earth and provide food, while other waters are solidified into immense glaciers. …

St. Paul: Devotee of the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
The Book of Psalms is a true compendium of our relationship with God. It would be difficult to find a feeling, an emotion, a trial or a supplication that is not expressed with poetry in its verses. However, among these inspired texts, Psalm 129 particularly calls our attention for the …

Justice and Mercy: Characteristics of the Good Shepherd
Of all the parables composed by the Divine Teacher, perhaps none sets out the criteria for those in a position of governance better than the parable of the Good Shepherd (cf. Jn 10:1-30). Here Our Lord presents himself as the true guide, support and father of a multitude of sheep …

Remains that Proclaim the Victory of Faith
Leafing through the pages of the Golden Legend, we find facts from the lives of the Saints which, although they may lack historical proof, help us to appreciate the lives of the Blessed in their marvellous aspect, as can be noted in the episode narrated in these lines, describing the …

Gospel Commentary

Jesus’ Heart Was Moved with Pity...
36 At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, 37 “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; 38 so ask the master of the harvest …

St. Lutgardis of Aywières - Conquered by Divine Love from Childhood
In the distant year of 1182, a little girl with bright and lively eyes was born into a family in Tongres, a town in Belgium, and she was christened Lutgardis. As her personality developed, she showed a remarkable appetite for the supernatural life and an almost experiential sense of God’s …

It is so easy to trust completely in my Heart
I am Love! My Heart can no longer contain its devouring flames. I love souls so dearly that I have sacrificed my life for them. It is this love that keeps Me a prisoner in the tabernacle. […] For love of souls, I instituted the Sacrament of Penance, that I …

Revolution and Counter-Revolution of the Heart
The heart, already in antiquity, was considered a symbol of the very core of the human personality. Among the Greeks, for example, it circumscribed reason or the emotions, and among the Romans there was the association of the heart with love, as well as courage, since soldiers were decorated with …

Story for Children

Can We Be of Any Use?
It was a Saturday afternoon in autumn. The children were waiting for catechism class to begin. But to their surprise, instead of the kind nun who usually taught them, another sister entered the room in the convent dedicated to teaching: “Attention, children: Sr. Laura could not come today. She has …

Only of Angels and the Strong?
Everything was going well. Until one day their lives changed completely. For one insane action, they lost a world of wonders and found themselves cast into a terrible vale of tears… Yes, dear reader, I am referring to the story of Adam and Eve, or rather, to our own history. …
