Living Monstrances

Living Monstrances

A faint light inside the sacred enclosure invites us to intimacy with God, in recollection and prayer. It comes not from the large basilica, but from an inviting side chapel where we find Jesus in the consecrated Host, exposed for adoration in the monstrance. The interior of the chapel is …

Mary’s Indestructible Chain

Mary’s Indestructible Chain

“I will put enmity between you and the Woman, and between your seed and her seed” (Gn 3:15), the Creator decreed after the fall of our first parents. It is a war waged between two irreconcilable adversaries: the race of the children of the Virgin under the orders of their …

“Kintsugi” and the Art of Divine Pardon

“Kintsugi” and the Art of Divine Pardon

We live in a society that has become accustomed to the disposable, the practical and the ephemeral, and which is, as a consequence, increasingly unconcerned with beauty, the sublime and the enduring. For this reason, it may be difficult for us to appreciate a certain oriental art form, kintsugi, which …

Dust, Ashes and Nothing

Dust, Ashes and Nothing

A stroll through the winding alleys of Rome can sometimes feel like a visit to a necropolis. In the ancient Campus Martius, for example, the imposing mausoleum of Augustus stands out, preserving the spoils of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

While the King Sleeps…

While the King Sleeps…

In the savannahs of faraway Africa, there is a lord more powerful than the lion: silence. In the midst of the struggles for animal survival, it reigns not as a tyrant, but gently, providing the ideal environment for the most intrepid undertakings. Lioness in West Midland Safari Park, Bewdley (England) …

The King’s Sleep

The King’s Sleep

The vast golden plain, scorched by the heat of the sun, is slowly being covered by the starry mantle of the night. Silence descends… The only sound is the rustling of the dried grass, moved by the wind. Occasionally, however, another sound is heard. It is the roar of the …

On the Right or Left of Jesus?

On the Right or Left of Jesus?

Immense and verdant pastures teeming with flocks, some of sheep and lambs, others of goats and kids: such is the picturesque scene that often meets our eyes when we venture far from the big cities. There is something special about these little animals, leading the Redeemer to mention them in …

Light of Hope in the Resurrection

Light of Hope in the Resurrection

Cemeteries, often gloomy and unwelcoming, take on a special colour on All Souls’ Day in Poland, owing to an ancient Catholic tradition. On this date, the Polish people customarily visit the sites where the bodies of their ancestors lie in order to pay them their respects, and, above all, to …

Courage and Purity

Courage and Purity

The eternal, virginal snows of the Alps, which are constantly battered by icy winds, nobly crown the peaks of imposing rock formations. During the 19th century, perhaps driven by nostalgia for the epic spirit which shone so brightly in the Europe of bygone days, many young people set out to …
