Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

The Founder of an Era of Faith

A young man with an extraordinary vocation, from a senatorial and patrician family, decided to give himself completely to divine grace. It spoke to him in the depths of his soul: “My son, I want you, and I want you entirely. Will you give yourself completely?” And he replied: “Yes, …

Dona Lucilia

Relief for a Mother’s Heart

The profound alterations in mentalities and customs that shook the world in that historical context were followed by political revolutions. However, while in some countries revolutionary minorities provoked bloodbaths, in vast and laid-back Brazil, the reluctance to fight almost always overcame the desire to win. In most instances, political manoeuvring …

The Voice of the Popes

Defender and Interpreter of the Franciscan Charism

Today I would like to talk about St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio. […] St. Bonaventure, in all likelihood born in 1217, died in 1274. Thus he lived in the 13th century, an epoch in which the Christian faith which had deeply penetrated the culture and society of Europe inspired imperishable works …

To Be for Her as Elisha Was for Elijah

When Mary lives in someone, it is not She who lives, but it is Jesus Christ who lives in that someone. And to set limits to Our Lord would be truly absurd. Therefore, I should want an unlimited surrender to the Blessed Virgin. This surrender presupposes, first of all, fervour, …

Daily Life in Cluny - Source of Living Water for Christendom
A time of wars and anarchy, the 10th century was a crucial moment in European history. The civilizing campaign begun by Charlemagne needed a new impetus. On the other hand, in the ecclesiastical field, a reform of customs was urgently needed to combat simony, the immorality of the secular clergy …

Elijah and the Carmelite Order - The Mantle of Elijah through the Ages
Carmel!… A word that resounds through history like a bell! It evokes great events; it brings to mind prophetic deeds and extraordinary accomplishments of chosen men. Mountain of the prophets, where the fiery Elijah confronted the priests of Baal and slew them in the valley of Kishon (cf. 1 Kgs …

The St. Benedict Medal - An Exorcism Struck on a Medal
“We could do nothing against that place!” confessed some sorceresses imprisoned by the public authorities in Nattremberg, Bavaria, in 1647 on charges of having cast evil spells on the inhabitants of the region. In the trial that followed their arrest, they stated that their wicked machinations were unsuccessful in places …

The Church: Teacher of Civilization
I hope the two characters in the discussion I witnessed the other day will not mind if I describe it as I heard it. In the corner of a waiting room, a priest in a cassock sat silently reading. Two seats away, slouched in his chair, was a young university …

St. Bonaventure - 750 Years in Eternity - Herald of Seraphic Love
It is a summer’s night in the Eternal City. While everyone sleeps, a pilgrim quietly approaches the entrance to the grandiose St. Peter’s Square. In the stillness, the two colonnades, which symbolize the open arms of Mother Church,1 seem more welcoming than ever… Suddenly, the silence is broken by the …

Gospel Commentary

Setbacks for the Good!
30 The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. 32 So …

In the midst of the tragedy ravaging the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, the discovery of images and relics that inexplicably escaped the catastrophe has brought a sign of hope to the faithful. In the city of Três Coroas, a copy of the Holy Scriptures was found intact …

Admirable Contemplation, Restorative Penitence
After her repentance, St. Mary Magdalene began to clearly represent two united virtues: contemplation and penitence. Contemplation, in contrast with her sister, in the famous episode in which Our Lord says to Martha: “Mary has chosen the good portion and it will not be taken from her” (Lk 10:42). Therefore, …

A New or an Old Church?
After millennia under the yoke of original sin, humanity longed for renewal. Through a New Eve, Mary Most Holy, Jesus the Redeemer of the first fault was born, the New Adam, to restore the old man. This culmination did not arise from a springtime for the chosen people. On the …

Tears of Farewell
The Jewish Passover was nigh. The Messiah was at the table with eleven of His disciples; Judas had already taken his leave. The Mother of Jesus together with some holy woman who had never abandoned the Lord were seated close by. The Last Supper was over. Our Lord made a …
