Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

A Blessed Nation

Dona Lucilia

It Is Easy to Confide in Dona Lucilia!

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. […] What is impossible with men is possible with God” (Lk 18:25, 27), declared the Divine Master. Today’s world preaches a different doctrine. Analysing facts …

The Voice of the Popes

Mother, Queen and Patroness of the Brazilian people

Just as the Apostles, together with Mary, “went up to the upper room” and there, “with one accord devoted themselves to prayer” (Acts 1:13-14), so too we are gathered here today at the Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, which at this moment is our “upper room” where Mary, Mother …

Branded with the Cross

Set your eyes on the Crucified and all will seem easy. If His Majesty showed us His love with such tremendous labours and sufferings, how can you want to please Him just with words? Do you know what it means to be truly spiritual people? It means becoming the slaves …

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gn 1:1). When we contemplate this passage of Scripture, we often focus our attention on the beauty of the heavens and the earth, and overlook the very first creature to emerge from the hands of the Divine Craftsman: time! “In …

Aparecida: a Parable of the Church

Our Lady of the Conception Aparecida - Harbinger of the Reign of Mary

St. Luke the Evangelist - A Marian and Crystalline Soul, Fruit of Admiration
When biographical accounts of a saint are not plentiful, turning to his works and their fruits is a sure-fire way to make great discoveries about his person. In the case of St. Luke, the piety of the faithful would like to know who his parents were, how he spent his …

Crucifixion, Heroism and Glory

Why Was I Chosen?
Two old friends were chatting comfortably at a dining room table spread for dinner. They were indeed “old friends”, for the age difference between one and the other was almost a century. It was a curious kind of banquet, for instead of musicians and instruments to create a happy mood, …
