Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Shield and Sword of the Church

Regarding St. Michael the Archangel, we have a brief note: “St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly hosts, fought the rebellious angels in the war that arose in Heaven. It is his duty to continue this fight to free us from the devil. The Guardian Angels depend on him. He is …

Dona Lucilia

Living Image of Another Mother: the Holy Church

Dr. Plinio was introduced to the ways of the Gospel and the sublime horizons of the Catholic religion by a living example, present before him at home: Dona Lucilia. From this “book” he learned what innocence, holiness, intransigence, prudence and wisdom are; it was in his mother that he best …

The Voice of the Popes

Defender of the Church

I am pleased to be among you in the shadow of this Shrine of St. Michael the Archangel, which for fifteen centuries has been a place of pilgrimage and a point of reference for all those who seek God and wish to follow Christ, through whom “all things were created, …

Compassionate and Combative Soul

St. Vincent de Paul was at once the saint of combativeness and charity. Combativeness, on two fronts. First, the doctrinal front, in which he diligently fought the Jansenists in Rome, at court, among the nobility, among the clergy, among the people, in a political and strategic manner, with his immense …

The Siege of the Alcázar of Toledo - A Miracle of Faith and Audacity
Audacity, idealism, nobility of spirit, hope and faith! These are the attributes that dwell in the soul of the Spanish when they are true sons of the Church, a precious treasure inherited from centuries of struggle in defence of Christianity. And to prove this, we do not need to go …

Mont Saint-Michel - Photograph in Stone of the Mentality of an Angel
Standing before Mont Saint-Michel, we stare in amazement at this stone giant rising from the rocky depths to rend the skies. From above, a gleaming statue of the Archangel Michael presides over the edifice. A synthesis of delicacy and strength, he impassively views both the threat of sea storms and …

Blessed Francisco Palau: “My Relations with the Church” - The True Face of the Church
Prefigured by the chosen people in the Old Testament, the Church was instituted by Our Lord Jesus Christ in the fullness of time, in order to perpetuate His presence among men and thus lead them to salvation. Originating from the Greek εκκλησία – ekklésia – the word church means convocation …

Apparitions of La Salette - Lady, Why Are You Crying?
“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow” (Lam 1:12). Jeremiah’s poignant words, piously attributed to the Sorrowful Mother at the foot of the Cross, could also be the most perfect description of the Virgin of La …

Gospel Commentary

No Glory without the Cross
27 Jesus and His disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” 29 And He asked them, “But who …

St. Joshua - You Will Lead this People to the Promised Land
In a certain city in ancient Egypt, a shocking scene was witnessed. It was early spring, close to midnight. In several humble houses throughout the city, fresh blood was dripping from the doorposts. Fortunately, it was not from human sacrifices, but from the immolation of lambs, consummated at dusk with …

The Secret of Perfection
Our entire perfection is founded on loving our most loving God. “Charity is the bond of perfection” (Col 3:14). And perfect love of God consists in the complete union of our will with God’s most holy will. “The principal effect of love”, says St. Denis, “is to unite the will …

Some Try, Others Triumph
The approach towards the Angels is often distorted by religious syncretism, pseudo-spiritualities or, even in the Catholic sphere, by a sugar-coated view of their function. Romanticism has contributed to portraying them as infantile and fatuous beings, the expert violinist of Heaven… And the contemporary bibliography on Angels unfortunately grows in …

Illuminated Cross, Crucified Light
Tradition has coined the saying “Per crucem ad lucem – Through the cross to the light,” to denote that through our daily labours and struggles we rise to the divine light. But can we say that the opposite expression, “Per lucem ad crucem – By the light to the cross,” …
