A Monastery or a Shopping Centre?

The building that illustrates these pages, built at the end of the Middle Ages in a polychrome flamboyant Gothic style, is a clear example of the spirit that permeated its time. The striking and truly artistic roof allows the viewer to estimate the height of the ceiling in the interior …

The month of February was marked by special Marian blessings for several groups of Spanish-speaking faithful who made their consecration as slaves of love to Jesus, through the hands of Mary, culminating the course offered by the Reconquest Catholic Formation Platform. The ceremonies took place in Madrid, Seville and Malaga, …

The Greatest Act of Mercy

§270 God is the Father Almighty, whose fatherhood and power shed light on one another: God reveals His fatherly omnipotence by the way He takes care of our needs; by the filial adoption that He gives us (“I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons …

A Prophet for Our Times

On the Glorious Route of Dead Ends

There is a small statue of Our Lady Help of Christians that has been with us for a long time. It is not a work of art, but a little plaster statue, one of those mass-produced ones that are found everywhere, of a religious style called Saint-Sulpician. Why did I …

Confidence Without Limits

Dona Lucilia possessed a limitless confidence in the mercy of Our Lord, and she asked His forgiveness for herself – because every human creature has defects – as well as for those whom she loved, and even for those who did not love her, but for whom she wished to …

St. Thomas Explains

Epiphany of Omnipotence
Power… a word that has intoxicated so many throughout history, so often signifying an oppressive or so-called retributive force, opposed to benevolence or mercy, the fruit of the exacerbation of passions disordered by original sin. How different is the dominion exercised by the Most High! “For My thoughts are not …

The Renaissance - The Past Has its Novelties
There are two ways of understanding the present: as the past of the future and as the future of the past. And let the reader not think that this introduction is a mere play on words. It is an indisputable fact – almost a platitude – that previous centuries have …

My Place Is… Exactly My Place!
Reborn through baptismal waters as a child of God and a living temple of the Trinity, every member of the faithful is a light in the darkness of the world and a member of the Church Militant, battling to establish Christ’s Kingdom on earth. Each of us, therefore, has a …

Lives of the Saints

St. Hermann Joseph - A Second Joseph
How would the elevated and respectful relationship between St. Joseph and Our Lady have been? How often did the Holy Patriarch see the Queen of the Universe inclining herself before him to serve him, and accept her services! As if that were not enough, his immaculate Spouse took counsel with …

Dona Lucilia, Help Me!
Nothing foreshadowed the tremendous blow that Pamela Balda’s family would suffer that Thursday afternoon, on May 30, 2024. In the house where she lives with her parents and sister in Guayaquil, Ecuador, daily activities were going on as normal when, at around 1pm, her mother, Anita Mariela Desiderio Hinostroza, was …

A Virtue Hidden in Simple Words
I imagine our readers have never stopped to count how many times a day they hear or say muito obrigado [thank you in Portuguese; literally, much obliged – trans.], even in a world where this expression is becoming rarer. I would also doubt being the first person to make these …

Did You Know…
Among the temperate outbursts of joy that mark the ceremony of the Easter Vigil in the Holy Night, one stands out for its candid and solemn effusiveness. It is the announcement of Easter, a moment in which the deacon, addressing the celebrant, makes a proclamation whose final word – silent …

Pray Always, and Never Lose Heart
My good little daughters in Jesus Christ, put into practice the recommendation that our Divine Saviour made to us, to pray always and not lose heart. But you will ask me: how can we pray always? I answer you with the sacred interpreters and with the spiritual masters, saying that …

Our Readers Ask

Our Readers Ask
Verônica Dias Gonçalves - Via revista.arautos.org When we talk about prayer, we must take into account two related elements: efficaciousness and merit. Prayer is considered efficacious when the supplication is favourably heard and achieves its objective. The Holy Gospels contain numerous accounts of requests made to Our Lord that He …

Mercy That Embraces Justice
Among the Stoics, mercy was considered a human weakness or even an ægritudo animi, a disease of the soul. In this sense, it would not behove a truly virtuous person to feel compassion for the misery of others. For Aristotle, someone facing misfortune would only be worthy of empathy if …

The Voice of the Popes

Mercy Does Not Exclude Justice
Mercy is the central nucleus of the Gospel message; it is the very name of God, the face with which He revealed Himself in the Old Covenant and fully in Jesus Christ, the incarnation of creative and redemptive Love. This merciful love also shines in the face of the Church …

The Sunday Liturgy

The Only Work Written by Jesus
What was considered by many to be the holiest of Jewish celebrations, the Feast of Booths, was then in progress. With all the people gathered around Jesus at that time, an opportune moment had arisen for His enemies to try to trap Him. They presented Him with a woman caught …

Proclamation of Christ’s Kingship
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, a period of deep reflection and meaning, which will culminate in the most important feast of the liturgical year: Easter, the Resurrection. The passage from St. Luke’s Gospel (Lk 19:28-40) chosen for this day’s procession recounts Our Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, …
Fr. Fabio Hideki Kobayashi, EP - 31, March 2025

Fundament for the Certainty of Victory
The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the most solemn commemoration of the liturgical year, is the feast of the absolute victory of good over evil, which gives meaning to all of history. For God, who is outside of time, it is an eternal present; for us, the present celebration …

Three Lessons in Mercy
In the Gospel for the Second Sunday of Easter, St. John brings together three great lessons of mercy from Jesus Christ towards His Church. On appearing in the Upper Room, Our Lord’s first words are: “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19). With this greeting He transmits the serenity that had …

A Mystery of Unimaginable Love!

Apparitions of the Merciful Jesus to St. Faustina - God’s Mercy Shown to Mankind
The Holy Gospels reveal in their inspired pages the wealth of nuances in the Person of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in some of His infinite attributes. At one moment, it is the divine wrath of the One who single-handedly drives dozens of money changers out of the Temple that shines …

The Diary of a Chosen Soul
Genuine Christian literature can well be compared to an immense treasure chest filled with the most varied precious objects.
