Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Splendour, at the Crossroads of History…

Versailles was built in a context that could, from a certain point of view, be called a crossroads in history. The starting point of the Middle Ages was the invasion of the barbarians into the Roman Empire and their mixing with the decadent Europeans of that territory. Plunged into a …

A Mother Who Always Answers Her Children’s Pleas!

It was due to a lack of bread to offer an unexpected visitor that, in the parable told by the Divine Master, an afflicted man had to appeal to the charity of a friend in the middle of the night (cf. Lk 11:5-8), but it was only through stubborn persistence …

Heralds Worldwide

Before departing for Heaven, Our Lord declared that He would remain with us always, until the end of time (cf. Mt 28:20), a promise that is admirably fulfilled in the Blessed Eucharist. In gratitude for this immense proof of love, the Heralds of the Gospel spared no efforts in celebrating …

The Voice of the Popes

Crowning and Complement of the Immaculate Conception

It is therefore, a pleasure for us, a full century having passed since the Pontiff of immortal memory, Pius IX, solemnly proclaimed this singular privilege of the Virgin Mother of God [the Immaculate Conception], to summarize the whole doctrinal position and conclude in these words of the same Pontiff, asserting …

Eagle of Human Thought

The eagle is extremely beautiful at the moment when it takes flight. However, even more beautiful is human thought when expressed in a way that conveys its flight. Such is that of St. Augustine: in his impelling surges of soul, he reveals incomparable flight.

The Crowning Achievement of a Loyal Subject
“I am grateful to you for the honour that Your Majesty has done me by increasing the number of your household officers in my person.”1 The above words were addressed to Louis XIV by one of his subjects. Was this the beginning of a speech by a troop commander? Or …

Élisabeth of France - The Last Sun of Versailles
Among the lugubrious events of the French Revolution, there is no doubt that the beheading of more than forty thousand victims, together with the unspeakable massacre of three hundred thousand Vendeans, constitute a less-than-prestigious backdrop for those who claimed to be fighting in the name of liberty, equality and fraternity. …

Dogma of the Assumption of Mary Body and Soul into Heaven - Mary’s Triumph!
A devout and attentive reading of the Acts of the Apostles lets us savour and at the same time relive the atmosphere of springtime graces that enveloped, like a protective cloak, the Church that had just been born. She was fragile as a tender child, in everything contingent and fearful, …

Gospel Commentary

The Divine Attraction
41 The Jews murmured about Jesus because He said, “I am the bread that came down from Heaven,” 42 and they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know His father and mother? Then how can He say, ‘I have come down from Heaven’?” 43 …

Escolapia Martyrs of Valencia - Heroism in Simplicity
Spain, 1936. The civil war had spread throughout the country and in Valencia it caused religious and priests to disperse, because of the risks they faced there.

Queen of Peace and Joy
St. Mary of Jesus Crucified once said: “Obedience is to the soul what wings are to a bird. How unhappy are those who do not sacrifice all to obedience: their desire, their will, all that they hold dear. If they do not make this sacrifice, they will never see God. …

Serene Contemplation, a Resounding Victory
The greatest battle in history was announced by the Protoevangelium: “I will put enmities between thee and the Woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel” (Gn 3:15). Here we see the eternal struggle between the children …

Who Is My True Friend?
Sveglia the Rooster crowed, announcing the dawn of another day on the farm of Signor Francesco Belincaza: “Cock-a-doodle-doo! Rise and shine, my friends! The sun is showing us the way! A fine day awaits us!” “Moooooo!” protested Arabella the cow. “Not so fast! You are off to a head start …

In a sky that seems forever blue, the sun shines down with all its brilliance upon the placid waves of the sea, which sparkle like crystal as they collide with one another. Birds glide gracefully over the turquoise waters, composing melodies in harmony with the light breeze that gently sways …
