Wise Advice for Attaining Holiness

In view of the tremendous moral decadence of our times, no one will be able to maintain perfect purity of body and soul without constant interior vigilance. Evil suggestions swarm everywhere and provoke disordered movements in the sensibility, which can go unnoticed at first, even masquerading as good feelings and …

Dona Lucilia

Living Lesson of the Gospel

“My attitude of soul with Mama was, without a doubt, one of tremendous and complete resonance,” commented Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira about his relationship with Dona Lucilia. The physical phenomenon of resonance consists in the simultaneous vibration of same-pitched sounds. If, for example, a set of crystal glasses or …

On September 21, the pipe organ of Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary in Caieiras (SP), was inaugurated during a solemn Eucharistic concelebration. Following the homily was the blessing of the instrument – which is equipped with 48 registers, three keyboards and 3,190 pipes –, with the sprinkling of …

The Voice of the Popes

A Veritable Battlefield

We must adore the dispositions of Divine Providence, which, having instituted the Church on this earth, allows her to encounter every kind of obstacle, and formidable resistance on her way. The reason for this is obvious, because the Church is militant and therefore in continuous struggle: a struggle that makes …

Affectionate and Confident Children

We ought to be true children towards the Most Holy Virgin, brimming with veneration, affection and confidence. When a mother plays with her toddler by taking a ball from him to have the satisfaction of seeing him retrieve it from her hands, her intention is not to deprive the child …

Is the Existence of Purgatory Biblically Based?
Throughout history, humanity has sought to investigate the fate of the soul after death, and on this path to eternity perplexities have frequently arisen about the existence of Purgatory. It is true that we will not find any explicit references to the word Purgatory in the Holy Scriptures, but does …

Canonizations and Pontifical Infallibility
Holiness is the common ideal of every Christian on this earth, because through it the gates of Heaven are opened to us. Therefore, in her pastoral solicitude, it is up to the Church not only to provide us with the means to obtain beatitude, but also to present us with …

St. Pio of Pietrelcina - God’s Sunflower
It is known that sunflowers follow the sun like the hands of a clock: during the day, their corolla turns towards the light and, at night, it “droops” in the opposite direction to await its rising again the next morning. But these cycles only occur during the flowers’ “infancy” and …

Towards the Pinnacles of Heroism!
Could it be that in Heaven we will be reclining eternally on fluffy clouds, as certain representations of baroque angels suggest? Chubby, pink-lipped and curly-haired, with ill-defined facial expressions, playing harps or violins and seeming to look down at the earth as if they were watching a show from the …

Gospel Commentary

King of Eternity
33b Pilate said to Jesus, “Are You the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered: “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to …

When the tomb of St. Teresa of Avila was reopened on August 28, her body was found to be still incorrupt. The remains of the reforming Saint of Carmel, who died in 1582, are in the same condition as in the last openings of the silver coffin that houses them, …

Lives of the Saints

St. Zechariah - A Devotee of Our Lady
Among Catholics today, interest in learning about the lives of the Saints has grown significantly. However, those who investigate the biography of the members of the nascent Catholic Church – not those of the first centuries, but of the first years and decades, those who lived with Jesus – are …

Heroism Carried to Martyrdom
When the persecution laws came into force on August 10, 1926, the dispersion of the clergy began. […] Once public worship was closed, private service to the faithful required superhuman efforts from the few priests who remained at their posts. Baptisms, Communions, Extreme Unctions and even Marriages were continually requested, …

To Be or to Be Holy: That is the Question
Today we live in a crisis. A crisis of customs, of doctrines and of virtue. The greatest crisis of all, however, is that of holiness. On every side we find models of business executivos, athletes and film stars… Saints, however, are somewhat absent from view, to say the least. Someone …

A Threatening Snowball
The little town of Höhenlagen was surrounded by a world of whiteness: high, snow-covered mountains, which on sunny days reflected the light with dazzling splendour, seeming like an apparition of Angel hosts. Many wondered if the place was the entrance to Paradise… One mountain towered above the rest: the great …

“Pay Attention!”
Is there a voice on earth more booming than the bass, deeper than the abysses, more solemn than the requiems sung by the Holy Church? Yes, it is a voice that has resounded since the days of creation, whose language suffered nothing from the confusion of tongues at the Tower …
