I Am All Yours, You Are All Mine

Pour into the bosom and heart of Mary all your precious possessions, all your graces and virtues. She is a spiritual vessel, a vessel of honour, a singular vessel of devotion. Ever since God personally hid Himself with all His perfections in this vessel, it has become completely spiritual, and …

Dona Lucilia

“I congratulate you for this son of yours”

It was in the French capital, where history still radiated from every corner, that Dona Lucilia would finally fully recover her health.1 Paris was not wholly new to Dona Lucilia, for since her youth she had been acquainted with it by assiduously reading French authors, and particularly the Journal de …

Catholic truths

A Man of prayer and genuinely devoted to the holy Eucharist

While an essential part of the Church’s work of evangelization is to teach men and women to pray to the Father, through the Son in the Holy Spirit, new evangelization entails the recovery and consolidation of pastoral practices which manifest belief in the real presence of Our Lord under the …

“Other Christs”

The Holy Scriptures present Jesus Christ as the High Priest of the New and Eternal Covenant, established by God through His Most Precious Blood shed on the Cross. The Epistle to the Hebrews affirms this categorically; the Apocalypse represents Him in prophetic language, using symbolic figures; other New Testament writings …

St. Thomas Explains

Does the Eucharist Prevent Future Sins?

“Prevention is better than cure,” as the proverb says. Whether in the field of medicine or security, prevention is considered the best way to avoid illnesses and incidents. Any intervention is always more traumatic than precautionary actions. From the outset, Divine Providence provided for the existence of life on this …

Catholic Spirituality

Holding Fast to Mary
“May priests rejoice in the Blessed Virgin!”,1 exclaimed St. Ephrem, the Cantor of Mary. For the priest truly devoted to her, Our Lady is the inexhaustible source of all joys. And the preeminent occasion in which he can commune with his Mother is the Holy Mass, the high point of …

The Voice of the Popes

The Church’s Greatest Treasure
Tasting wounded us and tasting heals us Surpassing all fullness of generosity, exceeding all measure of love, [Jesus Christ] offered Himself as food. O singular and marvellous generosity, where the giver comes as a gift, and what is given is wholly identical to the giver! He therefore gave Himself as …

Mary: The Way to the Eucharist
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ invites us to contemplate the excellence of divine wisdom: God, in the immensity of His love, makes Himself food to remain with us in the innermost depths of our being. As Scholasticism teaches, every agent acts in proportion and …

A Priestly People
For a sovereign state to exist, it needs a people, a defined territory, an organized government, and laws that regulate the common good. However, a people can exist united by cultural or spiritual ties, even without their own territory, as is the case with Christians: “They dwell in their own …

If We Have Died with Christ,We Shall Also Live with Him
Immortality: this is the dream of all mankind since the original fall… In fact, “sin came into the world through one man and death through sin” (Rom 5:12). But how to restore life? Paradoxically, with death, as Our Lord warns in this Sunday’s Gospel: “Whoever finds his life will lose …

Deliver Me, Lord, From My “Friends”
Friend: what a hackneyed word! We use it to label relatives or neighbours, work colleagues, study partners, or mere acquaintances… On social media, “friends” multiply, sometimes reaching the thousands. However, as the saying goes: “a friend to all is a friend to none”… It is a fact that friendships are …

Biblical Teachings

August Mystery, Prefigured from the Beginning
The Bible is still today the most widely read and circulated book in the world; however, its deepest meaning always remains unknown. Uninterrupted years of study would be insufficient to encompass all the wisdom contained in those sublime pages. And why is that? Because the principal Author of the Holy …

Sister Poverty and Lady Grandeur
By declaring himself united in a symbolic marriage with Sister Poverty, St. Francis of Assisi left us a precious lesson. Since the sharing of goods is inherent to marriage, we can imagine what “benefit” the holy mendicant must have derived from this mystical betrothal… Sister Poverty, obviously poor by nature, …

Priests in Time and in Eternity
For centuries, the Levites sacrificed countless victims in the Temple. On the Altar of the Cross, however, the Redeemer united in Himself the Priest and the Victim in a single and eternal offering (cf. Heb 7:27). By promising His earthly presence until the consummation of time (cf. Mt 28:20), Christ …

To the Rescue of Jesus
There are certain souls who, through no merit of their own, but simply by a gratuitous design of Providence, are endowed with singular gifts and extraordinary charisms, whose effects surpass the limitations of nature in such an evident way that it is impossible to deny their supernatural origin. One such …

Lives of the Saints

Another Elijah
St. Elisha, who is he? The father and master of the prophets of Mount Carmel. The preacher who multiplied the loaves. The man whom bears obeyed, and who ruled over the kings of his time. The seer for whom the future held no mystery. The most miraculous of the prophets. …

His Love Is Faithful
St. Gregory of Nyssa writes: “Blessed dart, which carries with it into the heart, the God who cast it!” By this the saintly Father means that when God pierces a heart with an arrow of love – that is, with some special illumination by which He give it to know …

Theme of the Month

“The Teacher is here and is calling for you”
Who would not want to kneel beside the manger in Bethlehem to adore the Infant Jesus? Or hear a sermon from the Divine Master, receive a glance from Him during His passage through a village in Galilee, see Him arguing with the Pharisees or driving out the money changers in …

“We, though many, are one body”
The Sacrament of the Altar has always been the central object of adoration, honour, and doctrinal explanation of the Holy Church. And it could not be otherwise, for she “draws her life from the Eucharist,”1 in whose species of bread and wine is contained the Real Presence of Christ,2 enlivened …

A Sign of Unsurpassed Love
Angelic nature, the work of God’s hand, is characterized by being purely spiritual, endowed with intelligence and will. When, through intellection, the Angels understand one same principle and love this ideal, they are united with one another. Ideas are also a factor in uniting men, but, already in the Earthly …

How to Honourthe Holy Eucharist?
This paragraph from the Catechism urges us to prepare ourselves adequately for receiving the Holy Eucharist, highlighting three important aspects. Firstly, as Pius XII recalls in the Apostolic Constitution Christus Dominus, it was customary since the fourth century to distribute Holy Communion to the faithful while fasting. The Councils of …
