Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Bell Towers of Tradition

After these days of frequent contact, which first appeared as an arduous unknown to overcome, but throughout which your souls were illuminated with new lights, new harmonies, new truths and the fire of new resolutions, the moment of separation arrives. It is a cruel moment of tearing oneself away, not …

Dona Lucilia

Truly Catholic Wife and Mother

The married state produced a marked deepening of Dona Lucilia’s supernatural spirit. Her soul became increasingly refined as hardships, sorrows, and illnesses multiplied. Faithful to her earlier custom, she would fold her hands and lift her eyes to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, beseeching Him, through the intercession of her …

The Siege of Vienna - Through Mary, you, John, will be victorious!
Vienna. The city of galas, of refinement, of music and pompous processions; the key locale for the political and social events of Europe was about to succumb to the fury of an Ottoman invasion. Surrounded by hills and woods, and enhanced by the Danube flowing at its feet, it could …

The Problem with the Ostrich
I have never witnessed the scene, but I have heard of a tactic used by the ostrich. When it perceives a predator lurking nearby, the bird, which seems to have escaped from the Jurassic era, focuses all its defence not on fleeing but on hiding. But how to hide such …

Digital Education, Heading Towards the Stone Age
Among the countless consequences that can arise from handling hazardous substances, there is one particular phenomenon whose mere mention causes fear: radiation. However, society did not always see it as an evil. In the early decades of the 20th century, most people were unaware of what science was slowly unravelling. …

The Blessing, a Fragrance from God
Before dedicating himself to saving souls, St. Blaise healed bodies: he was a physician. It so happened that one day a woman went to the bishop in affliction and begged him to cure her little son who was at the brink of death because of a fish bone lodged in …

The Ten Commandments - Guarantee of Happiness on Earth

Gospel Commentary

The Omnipotence of True Love
Jesus said to His disciples: 15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. 16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that …

Blessed Camillus Costanzo - The Angel of the Rising Sun
The wood crackled and gradually the flames rose. For a moment, everything seemed to indicate that the supreme sacrifice was over and the victim had been consumed on the infamous scaffold. But it was enough for the flames to die down briefly to contemplate the contrast between the dense smoke …

He Spoke Always for God and of God
When [St. Nicholas of Tolentino] ascended the pulpit, the mere sight of his angelic and austere face captivated the audience and dominated it in such a way that everyone became deeply recollected and silent, as if hanging on his every word. […] Such was the power of his eloquence that …

“Ecclesia semper sanctificanda”
The Church arose from the evangelizing impetus of her Founder, Jesus Christ, who gave the Apostles the power to cast out demons, to heal sicknesses and, above all, to proclaim the Kingdom of God (cf. Lk 9:1-2). The Redeemer’s last address to His disciples, as a corollary of His mission, …

The Gleam of the Firefly
