The Sublime Conquest of the Apex of Suffering

When we analyse each step of the Passion, whether physical or spiritual, we notice that Our Lord was spared nothing. He entered the deepest abyss of pain with a hero’s stride, took on every possible suffering and presented himself resplendent with suffering before the justice of the Eternal Father. And …

The Voice of the Popes


The Loving Father of Jesus

“He shall cry to me, ‘Thou art my Father’” (Ps 89:26). The Word of God that the Liturgy offers us on this Solemnity of St. Joseph is very rich. It presents us with the words of St. Luke’s Gospel, but it also draws on the great treasure of the Old …

Here Is the Solution!

Our Lord gave me His Mother as my Mother! Here is the solution! I feel that because I am so ordinary, so weak, so wicked, She is particularly touched with pity. And while I measure the depth of my wounds, She smiles at me and as if to say: “My …

The Duke of Enghien

The sun was casting its last rays over the Black Forest. Only the topmost branches of its lush trees were catching a remnant of rosy light when, in the twilight, it was possible to make out the figure of a man walking towards the town of Ettenheim, four leagues from …

It Was Worthwhile to Weep!

How interesting it would be if there were a book entitled The Theology of Weeping, in which we could study in depth what really lies behind man’s tears, the physical expression of the sentiments of his soul. In fact, there are as many types of tears as there are different …

St. Joseph’s Fatherhood Prefigured in the Old Testament - St. Joseph, the Perfect Father!

Over the centuries, many souls have marvelled at the Divine Child’s joy and enchantment, cradled for the first time in the maternal arms of Mary Most Holy. What delight the Infant Jesus must have felt at that moment, seeing himself enveloped in the purest love of His Blessed Mother, created …

Beloved From All Eternity!

In a beautiful play on words, replicated by countless Saints in subsequent centuries, St. Bernard of Clairvaux teaches us that “the measure of loving God is to love Him without measure.”1 Love! This is the only response that man, created by an act of supreme divine gratuitousness, can offer his …

Gospel Commentary


The Glory of the Cross

20 Some Greeks who had come to worship at the Passover Feast 21 came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 Jesus answered them, …

Blessed Maria Concepción Cabrera de Armida - The Cross and Love Embrace

The extravagant Queen Christina of Sweden liked to apply the following maxim to herself: “There are people for whom everything is permitted and nothing goes wrong.”1 Analysing the axiom as a rule of conduct, common sense would certainly correct the queen’s presumption… But viewed in the horizons of Faith, it …

Heaven Is for the Violent

Since the Kingdom of Heaven is conquered by doing violence, those who think they can sanctify themselves without suffering have a mistaken idea of sanctity. We should then ask ourselves: Why fret over such small contradictions? Why become so upset when there is something to suffer, failing to understand the …

St. Joseph’s “Magnificat”

God arranged everything with “measure and number and weight” (Wis 11:20). As the pinnacle of His work, He created man in His own image, as well as “a helper fit for him” (Gn 2:18), so that they became “one flesh” (Mk 10:8). But Adam and Eve sinned, and in reparation …

St. Joseph’s Legacy

Prince of the House of David and safeguard of all the divine promises made over millennia… Yet how simply the virginal father of the God-Man lived, the holder of such august titles! Iconography generally depicts him carrying a staff devoid of any adornment apart from the usual lilies. There have …
