Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

A Holocaust Pleasing to God

Plinio’s bedroom was adjacent to the study where his late grandfather used to work. After the latter’s death no one else had used the room, which always remained closed. One day, in search of some distraction which might alleviate his worries, Plinio decided to enter that room, and his attention …

Dona Lucilia

Guiding Star During the Storm!

“It’s a miracle.” This is how Mrs. Glendy Tejero described the help she received from Heaven, through the intercession of Dona Lucilia, at a time when the doctors thought her son’s death was imminent. Glendy, a good Catholic and catechist, lives in the city of Mérida, Mexico. She is a …

The Voice of the Popes

Universal Call to Conversion

“And from that hour the disciple took Her to his own home” (Jn 19:27). These are the concluding words of the Gospel in today’s Liturgy at Fatima. The disciple’s name was John. It was he, John, the son of Zebedee, the Apostle and Evangelist, who heard the words of Christ …

I Trust in You, O Mother!

However great may be the spiritual or temporal difficulties we must face in our lives, the constant attitude we should have in the face of them is one of unconditional trust in Our Lady. In the certainty of this maternal help, we find the courage to face any adversity, saying …

St. Therese of the Child Jesus - Contagious Joy, Even on Her Deathbed!
The doors open. It is a simple setting, denoting poverty and austerity. Crossing the corridor and passing through the cloister adorned with autumn foliage, we enter the infirmary, which is in the north-east corner. Here we find the entire community of Carmelite nuns gathered around a bed, on which lies …

The Combat Against the Devil - Our Struggle is Against Principalities and Powers
I invite the reader to identify the historical and geographical context in which the following letter was written: My dear Wormwood, The most alarming thing in your last account of the patient is that he is making none of those confident resolutions which marked his original conversion. No more lavish …

Guardian Angel - “My brother, my friend, my comforter!”
Alongside a countless number of abstract concepts – peace, freedom, fraternity, love and so many others – that of friendship is one of the most misrepresented by 21st century man. In fact, contrary to what many people think, being a friend is not about agreeing with another’s errors or sharing …

Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays of the Month - “You at least try to console me!”
From May to October 1917, the Blessed Virgin appeared in Fatima to the three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, giving them messages, entrusting them with secrets and, above all, expressing her innermost desires. The content and depth of her words convince us, however, that they were not only addressed …

Gospel Commentary

Charity Is Friendship
34 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, a scholar of the law tested Him by asking, 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the Law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, …

Church and World Events

Church and World Events
The devastating wildfires that ravaged Hawaii and destroyed more than two thousand buildings in the town of Lahaina, on the island of Maui, inexplicably spared the Church of Maria Lanakila. “Nothing else but Maria Lanakila” is the phrase that was repeated on social media after a local resident posted a …

Tender and Fatherly Concern for Perfection
The solicitude that [St. Louis Bertrand] showed for the temporal interests of the community was but a reflection of another, far more tender concern with which he kept watch over the perfection of his religious. […] A religious who had received the habit at the monastery of St. Onofre communicated …

The Great Little Way
Representations of St. Therese of the Child Jesus are often steeped in sentimentality: a languid look, an affected posture and syrupy expressions… However, we only need to look at her photographs, like the one on the cover of this issue, to realize that the holiness of the “little flower of …

A Rosary for the Queen
“Ding, dong! Ding, dong!” chimed the bells of the old convent. Quickly and quietly, the nuns filed into the large chapter hall, where Mother Louise was waiting to speak with them. “My daughters, the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin is coming, and it would seem appropriate to adorn Her statue …

Dear reader, let’s have a brief dialogue in the last few pages of this magazine. I am sure that you have had to take the stairs many times in your life. I am not talking about a staircase with only three or four steps, but one of those multi-storey flights …
