Faithful Son of the Church - “With the Church we will conquer”

Educator - “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ”
If we could interview the Apostles and ask them what moved them to leave everything to follow Our Lord Jesus Christ, it is certain that we would hear the most diverse answers. For one, it would have been the Master’s kind and penetrating gaze; for another, the power that His …

Knight of the Holy Church - “You are of the race of heroes and saints!”
Questions… Life is full of them. In the case of the Heralds, for example, some are repeated so habitually that the one being asked is able to guess them on the lips of his interlocutor even before it has been formulated. Undoubtedly, almost every member of this institution will have …

Msgr. João and Dona Lucilia - A Treasure Hidden amid the Ruins of Christendom

Perfect Disciple of Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira - One Heart, One Soul
An air of expectation settles over the well-filled and brightly-lit basilica. In the choir loft, the orchestra tunes its strings as clouds of incense begin to waft upwards between the columns of the central nave. All goes silent. Seated next to the main aisle, young João feels wrapped in a …

On the Rock I Will Build My Challenge
