Antonio Borda – Bogotá Only God has the power to create. Other beings, however sublime and powerful they may be, are incapable of doing so. However, in certain cases some Angels have manifested themselves in a way that is perceptible to the human senses, as, for example, when they were …

To Live Is to Be Together

The family is at the root of creation, because it was not fitting for the first man to be alone (cf. Gn 2:18). That is why the Almighty united Adam and Eve in one flesh, so as to populate the earth (cf. Gn 2:24; 1:28). Jesus Christ elevated this union …

The Most Important Mission

We are all concerned for the good of the people we love, especially our children, teenagers and young people. Therefore, we cannot fail to be solicitous for the formation of the new generations, for their ability to orientate themselves in life and discern good from evil, for their not only …

The Importance of Having Our Names Written in Heaven

Throughout the ages, people have established references by which to evaluate their surroundings. These standards are also indicative of what each era considers important, valuable and respectable. Nowadays, what is the “table of values” by which we judge something? In relation to social media and other current “news” media, for …

In the Flames of Divine Love

On the morning of the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I was praying in the chapel [of Darfeld Castle] before that statue that even as a child I loved so much. […] The Blessed Sacrament was exposed. The statue, which was surrounded by flowers and candles, was so …

“Do this and you will live”
Today we live in a fundamentally mercantile world, governed by the laws of marketing. From this perspective, life revolves around the endeavour to achieve maximum production at the lowest cost. But is this the true meaning of life? The question of the teacher of the Law that opens the Gospel …

Lessons from a Paternal Reproach
The public life of Our Lord Jesus Christ was intense. He travelled from village to village, teaching the Good News and announcing that the Kingdom of God was at hand. Crowds flocked to Him to be cured of their illnesses and those possessed by the devil were freed from his …

Pray in Time, to Be Together in Eternity
The most fundamental truths are often the most pure, luminous and uplifting. They share in the simplicity of God – the plenitude and source of all truth – and for this very reason they contain immense depths, capable of nourishing our spiritual and moral life. “To live is to be …

Symphony of Admiration and Hierarchy
Every Christian should desire total union and identification of spirit with God, as Our Lord says: “be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48). To this end, it is useful and beneficial to keep the hidden life of the Holy Family in our hearts and minds, and to …

Theme of the Month

The Family – The Sacrament of Marriage - Mystery of Love and Union, Communicated to Humanity
Of all the Sacraments, marriage is undoubtedly the most richly celebrated. Gala attire, jewels, bouquets, guests, lavish banquets, sumptuous receptions… everything is arranged with the care that this unique event – which will change the lives of the bride and groom forever – demands. But how few consider its supernatural …

The Education of Children - The Great Challenge for Parents
Children are born without an instruction manual. They come changing all the rules, abolishing schedules, and doing away with selfishness. In the end, only after many failures do parents discover that, in order to raise them well, more than just books are needed: they must be good parents… Equipped with …

Honouring Parents: a Sacred Duty
For many people pervaded by a relativistic spirit, the existence of the Decalogue – that is, the set of moral rules that should govern man’s conduct towards God and his fellow human beings – sounds like something arbitrary and unreasonable, an absurd imposition on the human race. As St. Thomas …

A Prophet for Our Times

The Perfect Social Fabric
The cellula mater of the organic social fabric is the family. It has within it the fullness of organicity, and because of warmth and vigour radiating from it, a certain organicity is communicated to the rest of society. In fact, this organicity of the family and the ensemble of inter-personal …

Duchess Sophie Chotek von Hohenberg - Marital Fidelity Taken to the Extreme
June 28, 1900. With a determined mind, Archduke Franz Ferdinand – heir presumptive to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire – accepted the destiny reserved for his future wife, Countess Sophie Chotek, and the children that God would give them, signing the terms of a renunciation that deprived them of …

Martyrdom of the brothers Justus and Pastor - Sanctity Knows No Age
Another day was drawing to a close in one of the countless Roman cities of the early fourth century. While the increasingly decadent pagans were indulging their unbridled thirst for pleasure, the Christians were preparing to head out stealthily into the deserted alleys to collect the relics of the heroes …

Children: An Option or a Mission?
§ 1652 By its very nature the institution of marriage and married love is ordered to the procreation and education of the offspring and it is in them that it finds its crowning glory. “Look toward Heaven, and number the stars, if you are able…” Then He said to him, …

St. Joachim and St. Anne, Parents of Our Lady - By Their Fruit You Shall Know Them
The Old Testament can well be considered a sublime preparation for the Incarnation of the Word. When we place Our Lord Jesus Christ at the centre of human events, we truly understand history, because this is how God conceives it: in an architectonic and hierarchical manner, with His Only-begotten Son …

Motherly Corrections
Naughtiness and wrongdoings come up in the ordinary life of any child. Sometimes a window is broken, a cake is ruined, milk is spilled… Nevertheless, those whose are responsible for correcting faults must do so for the sake of the love for order and discipline, without giving way to disproportionate …

Did You Know…
Considered barbarian behaviour and despised by Greco-Latin culture, genuflection had little value in antiquity. The aversion is not hard to understand: how could one kneel before pagan deities, capricious beings from whom one sought sympathy only to obtain certain personal benefits? Men would demean themselves – and they knew it …

Adornment and Primordial Light
A wise teaching of Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira points out the dual purpose of clothing: to cover the body and reveal the soul. The craft of garment-making is so high that it was God Himself who made them for the first couple, affected by the consequences of sin (cf. …

Holy Authority and Perfect Union
I always considered my parents to be saints. We had deep respect and admiration for them. I sometimes wondered if there was anyone like them on earth. At least I could not find them around me. Mama had as much admiration for my father as she did affection, and she …

Holy Abandonment - And What About Tomorrow?
The mere mention of the query that heads this article disturbs us. It is unsettling because of our uncertainty regarding the answer; it makes us doubt the plans we have made for the future; it brings down the most powerful fortresses that have been built up on dreams and founded …
