What Is a Priest According to the Heart of God?

Let Us Love the Blessed Sacrament Passionately!

“And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself” (Jn 12:32). It was first from the height of the Cross that Our Lord Jesus Christ drew all souls to Himself, redeeming them. However, in pronouncing these words, He undoubtedly also had in view …

Fatima: expectations and contemporary relevance - Majestic Promise, Bearer of Peace and Light!

The present crossroads of anxiety and discontent reigning throughout the whole world can be viewed as an effect of impiety and moral corruption, which in turn produce the great “challenges of the world: materialism, relativism, secularism.”1 We are suffering from a conflict of numerous disorders.

Feast of the Presentation of the Lord - The Art of Praying Well

The Holy Name of Mary - Treasure of the Eternal Father’s Love

Ihave made previous mention of the beautiful words with which the blessed martyr St. Methodius exalts our amiable Mary: “Salve, amoris Dei Patris thesaure – Hail, treasure of God the Father’s love.” However, they seem to me so sweet and enchanting to those who say them, and so laudatory to …
