Confidence, Joy and Courage

The maternal love of Mary has the regenerating power to elevate and sanctify a soul; She is the Mediatrix of the graces that are necessary for the justification of her beloved ones. Let us trust in Our Lady at all times, always remembering her extreme indulgence towards us, the compassion …
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira - 31, October 2025

Our Readers Ask

Our Readers Ask

João Carlos Alvim – São Paulo To adequately answer this question, we need to remember what prayer is. The Catechism of the Catholic Church adopts the classic definition: “Lifting up the mind toward God” (CCC 2098). But when is it that we raise our minds to God? Jesus tells us …

Lives of the Saints

St. Catherine of Alexandria - A Wise and Warlike Virgin

“I preferred [wisdom] to sceptres and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her. Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her. I loved her more …

Did You Know…

Did You Know…

Uniting East and West has always been a challenge, and not even the imperious Alexander the Great achieved such a glorious endeavour. History learned from him that conquering territories does not mean uniting peoples… This immense feat, however, was accomplished by the Catholic Church by uniting the two extremes of …

Tendencies and Mentalities

All… Except One!

By Jupiter, what a good idea Vipsanius Agrippa had when he built this temple! The Pantheon: what majesty, what conviction, what strength! And – between you and me – what a masterstroke… Agrippa well deserves to have his name engraved on its portico. “Dignus Roma locus, quo deus omnis eat …

Unifying Link with Jesus and Mary
It is a very troublesome thought that so many persons have lofty and sincere aspirations after high things, and so few reach them; that, as Godinez says, so many are called to perfection, and so few answer to the call; that so many begin ardently and prudently, and yet die …

Yesterday, a Year Ago…
As this month marks one year since the departure into eternity of the founder of the Heralds of the Gospel, Msgr. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, we turn our gaze to that dawn of November 1st, experiencing two seemingly contradictory impressions. On one hand, it seems like yesterday that we received …

Lift Up Your Hearts!
The Solemnity of All Saints is a favourable occasion to raise our gaze from earthly realities, marked by time, to God’s dimension, the dimension of eternity and holiness. […] all members of the People of God are called to become holy, according to the Apostle Paul’s affirmation: “For this is …

Sanctity: The Axis of History
The excerpts from the Word of God chosen by the Holy Church for the Liturgy of this solemnity can help us to contemplate history in a way very different from the tedious succession of dates and facts that we learn in school. Yes, because this great process that unfolds under …

The Day to Help Those Who Have Left Us
The Church can be compared to a magnificent palace with three interconnected levels. On the highest level is the Church Triumphant, in which the saints – those who did violence to Heaven (cf. Mt 11:12), entered “by the narrow door” (Lk 13:24) and heard the sweet call: “enter into the …

Venerable and Symbolic Stones
Just as people receive Baptism, sacred buildings are also “baptized” or, to use more appropriate terms, consecrated or dedicated to God. If there is a ritual to bless family homes, why should there not be something similar for buildings intended for divine worship? The Temple of Jerusalem – erected to …

The End of My World
Two moments are crucial in a man’s existence: his birth and his departure from this world. The banished children of Eve experience exceptional rest in both circumstances: upon entering life, the child is placed in a cradle, a place associated with hope for what it will become in the future; …

The King’s Victory and the Sceptic’s Defeat
“The sceptics may sneer. But the sneer of sceptics has never been able to deter the victorious march of those who have faith,” stated Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. And reading the Gospel chosen for this solemnity (cf. Lk 23:35-43) we exclaim in the same vein: the impious may mock …

Let Us Enter the Ark of the Holy Church!
Advent is the phase of the Liturgical Year “especially devoted to recollection, to a discreet compunction, and to the thrilling hope of the great joy that the birth of the Messiah will bring. Thus, everyone prepared to welcome the Child-God who, in the virginal maternal sanctuary, drew closer, day by …

“I hope that, despite my miseries, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, Our Lady, St. Joseph, my Guardian Angel, Dr. Plinio, Dona Lucilia, and all my intercessors will help me and do in me, with me, and beyond me all that I should do to fulfil my mission entirely. “And …

Signs of Msgr. João’s Intercession - Closing the Distance Between Heaven and Earth
Sunday morning, November 3, the final hours of farewell. Slowly and solemnly, the queue advances towards Msgr. João’s coffin. Thousands of people have already filed serenely down the main aisle to pay their last respects. That man had marked their hearts forever. Requests, thanks and kisses – there is no …

The Certainty of Victory
Famous is the historical event that occurred with the Grand Condé in the battle against the Spanish army at Rocroi, when he took his command baton and pitched it into the enemy’s midst to incite the French to win it back! In this episode – which so pleased Dr. Plinio …

The Communion of Saints - As Members of One Body
When the icy days of winter give way to the first rains of spring, enveloping inert nature in a milder climate, humanity is presented with the emergence of a new life, rich in principles, mysteries, and symbolism. “I am the vine, you are the branches” (Jn 15:5). Who could fail …

St. Hildegard of Bingen and Richardis von Stade - The Orphanhood of a Daughterless Mother…
To many of our contemporaries, and even to some Catholics, the saints seem like towering mountains of virtue, superhuman beings, predestined, separated from all and from everything, inimitable in the awesome grandeur of their deeds… Yet, from the heights of Heaven, where they enjoy eternal bliss, how they must smile …

St. Thomas Explains

Do the Saints in Heaven Truly Intercede for Us?
In the selfish and self-serving world we live in, it is difficult to find a true friend who remains permanently willing to help us, without expecting anything in return. We might even be led to believe that this kind of person no longer exists… But yes, they do! And there …

A Prophet for Our Times

The Fellowship of the Elect in Empyrean Heaven
The body is an essential element of our person. The soul is not, for example, as clothing is to the body, which can be exchanged for others without altering it. The body is not the clothing of the soul; body and soul form a single whole, a single person. And …

Unforgettable Afternoons with Dona Lucilia
The countless moral facets of the perfect mother were in Dona Lucilia put within reach of general observation, inviting others to become part of the “thousand children” for whom her overflowingly benevolent heart yearned.
