Spiritual Father - Wisdom Embodied in People

In the gardens of the Academy, comfortably seated and reflective, master and disciple still seem to be meditating: Socrates, his chin supported in his hand, prepares to bring into the world yet another concept; at his side, Plato, with an attentive ear, waits patiently. However, tourists come and go, days …

Expiatory Victim - The Triumph Obtained by Blood

Expiatory victim: the concept at the centre of this article is so foreign to any contemporary reality that it does not seem superfluous to explain it. The expiatory victim is essentially someone who suffers for others. Individuals who offer even their very lives to God for the sake of others …

Roman Catholic and Apostolic Man - Boundless Love of the Holy Church

More, much more and always more, breaking all limits, surpassing with such exuberance the “normality” of the facts, that his surrender, his restitution and his love were fully on a par with the love of Holy Mother Church for her children… This is the meaning of Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira’s …

Son and Slave of the Blessed Virgin - The World for Mary: the Apex of Devotion

“If I had met St. Louis Grignion de Montfort five minutes before his death,” Dr. Plinio once said, “I would have knelt down, kissed his feet, and urged him: ‘Be even more devoted to Our Lady!’”1 The boldness of this exhortation, given to the greatest of Mariologists, presupposes a life …

Let Us Be Her Intimate Children!

Contemplating the image of the Mother of Good Counsel and seeing the Child Jesus so well-protected and holding fast to her so tightly, I desire that a ray of grace descend upon each one of us, leading us to understand that this is how we ought to be in relation …

Plinian School of Thought - Wisdom and Greatness within Reach of the Little Ones
If the greatness of a man were measured solely by the volume of his works, we would already have ample reason to consider Dr. Plinio an exceptional author. His books, articles, interviews, manifestos, conferences, and informal lectures now total an incalculable number of pages. However, to define him as a …

Prophetic charism - A Prophet for Our Days
When we turn our attention to the events of the Old Testament, we are struck by the grandeur of the prophetic mission. Moses divides the Red Sea in two, Elijah brings down fire from Heaven and Isaiah predicts wonders centuries and centuries in advance… The procession of prophets, however, did …

Brief Biographical Notes - The Story of a Constant “Yes”
Few in history have shone as brightly for their audacity as the giant St. Paul. One need only read some of his letters, or the Acts of the Apostles, to prove it. However, among his acts of valour, one stands out: he dared to summarize the entire life of the …

The Sunday Liturgy

Do I Consider Myself Just?
This Sunday’s Gospel presents us with the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, which Our Lord addressed to “those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else” (Lk 18:9), that is, to a group of proud people. In it, Jesus portrays two men who go …
Fr. Pablo Luis Werner, EP - 30, September 2025

When Should I Pray?
This Sunday, Our Lord offers us the parable of the widow and the unjust judge, to show us “the necessity […] to pray always without becoming weary” (Lk 18:1). Narrated only in the Gospel of St. Luke, it portrays a defenceless woman before a wicked magistrate who fears neither God …

From Which Leprosy Do I Need a Cure?
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus was passing through a village on His way to Jerusalem when ten lepers stopped at a distance – for, according to the laws of the time, people afflicted with infectious diseases were forbidden to approach the healthy – and begged Him, “Have pity on us!” …

“If you have faith…”
This Sunday’s Liturgy could well be summarized in the gentle rebuke of the Divine Master contained in the verse that gives this article its title… And as an expression of what occurs in souls with regard to the gift of faith, the metaphor of the mustard seed draws us into …

Affinity
Portrayed by their contemporaries, the facial features of the two men illustrated on these pages – who, without ever having met one another, were perhaps the greatest antagonists in the 16th century – are impressive for their eloquence. * * * St. Ignatius of Loyola, in the prime of his …

The Patriarch Abraham - Confidence Against All Hope
“Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation” (Gn 12:1-2). Over the millennia, Abraham’s descendants have repeated this passage countless times, marking the beginning of the great patriarch’s vocation. The …

Unshakable Confidence
Who was Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira? One possible – though incomplete – answer would be to simply recall some of the achievements of his life: he was an undisputed Catholic leader, prolific writer, founder of an apostolic work whose influence knew no boundaries… And the list of his attributes could …

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Is Alive!
It is inherent to the human spirit to seek the unum of things, that is, the intelligence strives to reach a point that defines and synthesizes what has been known in separate details and analysed in its minutiae. These pages, without a doubt, are no exception to the rule.1 As …
