Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

The Happiness of Eternal Beatitude

I have always had a particular impression of certain descriptions or representations of Heaven. By faith, I knew it was a place where all delights were to be found, but when they were described to me, I had the feeling that they were delights for others and not for me. …

Dona Lucilia

What seemed to be the end was really the beginning…

April 21, 1968. Dona Lucilia Ribeiro dos Santos Corrêa de Oliveira lay in her apartment on her deathbed. The young Dr. Luiz Moreira Duncan, a friend of her son, Dr. Plinio, was in attendance since her private doctor, the eminent Dr. Abrahão Brickman, was out. Around 10 o’clock in the …

Serenity in the Face of Risk

In ancient Alexandria, at a time when Christians allowed themselves to be overcome with tepidity and excessive tolerance of pagan idolatry, God raised up St. Catherine to revive their Catholic fervour with her inner light and burning zeal. Her words, her example and her glorious martyrdom converted many who, perhaps, …

The “Divine Comedy” of Dante Alighieri - Journeying to the Love of God
Drama, pathos, magnitude. Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy is one of the greatest literary works mankind has ever produced. This extensive poem, which was composed at the end of the Middle Ages, sets its main argument, not in sentimental love, nor in praises of the homeland, still less in nostalgia for …

Near-Death Experiences - The “Dead” Who Came Back to Tell…
Four days had passed since the stone had been laid on the tomb. The body, according to the Holy Scriptures, already had a foul odour. However, Lazarus came back to life and became an indisputable symbol of Jesus’ omnipotence: His power over life and death extended beyond the threshold of …

Conquest of the South Pole - As Tall as Giants, as Weak as Dwarfs
The glorious times of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar were in the distant past. The crusades, in which intrepid warriors combined the impetus of conquest with the defence and propagation of the Catholic Faith, graced the pages of history.

St. Leonard of Port Maurice - “To die with sword in hand against hell”
The sacred edifice was packed to hear that great preacher. Clothed in the brown tunic of the sons of St. Francis, few knew that hidden underneath it was a cilice that he wore day and night. His facial features denoted austerity, but his eyes and the tone he gave to …

A Proof of Love
Gertrude’s love for the crucifix was tender and most heartfelt. As her piety could not bear to see Jesus suspended from hard iron nails, she one day replaced these with sweet-smelling cloves. The reward for this act of piety surpassed anything that could possibly be imagined. One Friday she spent …

Monuments of Catholic Hope
The true Church smiles serenely in the face of death as no other religion does, confronting the end of life on earth with the hope of imperishable glory. A faithful artistic expression of this Catholic spirit are the medieval gisants. Sepulchres sculpted in marble with meticulous care, they are an …
