Ardent Devotee of the Lord’s Passion

Who is not moved to contemplate Him who went about on earth doing good (cf. Acts 10:38), being the object of more hatred, scorn and outrages than has any man ever been in history? For today’s generations, so accustomed to a life aimed at avoiding suffering, it would perhaps cause …

“Death to the Nazarene!

“Death to the Nazarene!

We are deeply moved to read in the Holy Gospels how, when Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the people, he solemnly declares: “Behold your King” (Jn 19:14). But the response of the crowd gathered there – incited by the attitude of the high priests and clearly driven by demonic influence …

The Most Precious Moment of the Day

The Most Precious Moment of the Day

Inferior realities always reflect superior ones. This was the rule followed in the creation of the countless number of beings coming forth from God’s hands, so diverse and yet so harmonious among themselves.
