The Wondrous Fragrance of Christmas

Nothing could be more opportune, on the occasion of Christmas, than for us to comment on the advent of the Incarnate Word into the world, born of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

Notre-Dame de Paris - A Cathedral of Perfect Beauty, the Joy of All the Earth
April 15, 2019. On that Monday of Holy Week, the whole world stopped, stunned, to watch the fire that devoured the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Our Lady of Guadalupe - Empress of the Americas
For the first twelve Franciscan apostles who, at the request of Hernán Cortés, arrived in Mexico from Spain in the 16th century, it was no small undertaking to spread the light of the Faith in the dense idolatrous darkness that prevailed there. At the top of the Aztec pyramids, the …

St. Nicholas of Bari - The Famous Unknown
A person whom everyone recognizes, appreciates, speaks of and yet nobody – or almost nobody – really knows who he was. St. Nicholas of Bari is the famous saint who distributes Christmas gifts and, curiously, few are aware of his story and the reasons for his fame throughout the world. …

Do Everything that Is the Will of God
You ask me, my dear daughters: of what does pure love for God consist? It does not consist in knowing the good, talking about it and desiring it; NOR in feeling great spiritual consolations, because many people have all this and yet are full of love for themselves and empty …
