He Spoke Always for God and of God

When [St. Nicholas of Tolentino] ascended the pulpit, the mere sight of his angelic and austere face captivated the audience and dominated it in such a way that everyone became deeply recollected and silent, as if hanging on his every word. […] Such was the power of his eloquence that …

A Winning Paternal Kindness

I was about eleven years old when I had the grace to meet Don Rinaldi for the first time, at the festive Oratory of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians in Turin. All of them called him by the affectionate title “Signor Direttore”; all of them ran joyfully to …

Purity that Inspires Love and Trust

Philip’s purity, if we consider it deeply, was only another aspect of his love of God, and this is true of all purity that is perfect and persevering and virginal. We see in the entire life of our Saint that the practice of this virtue is one ray of the …

Marvellous Sanctity and Paternal Tenderness

The most painful trial [for the spiritual sons of St. Ignatius] was to leave the house of Rome, where they were able to see their much-beloved Father General, to admire his marvellous sanctity, and to enjoy his paternal tenderness. They were so dearly loved by him that each might think …

Remember that My God Gave Me to You

O blessed St. Francis de Sales, verily a most holy servant of God, my soul’s beloved and surest guide, precious gift of my God; my true father, I ask you, my sweetest teacher, and now my faithful advocate: consider our needs, and do not allow the heart that God has …

Channel of My Mellifluous Heart
