The Merciful Gaze of Mary

T rying to explain the essence of my devotion to Our Lady, I recently found an image that, although very simple, expresses my thought well. Let us imagine a well-formed polyhedron. If its faces are triangular, looking at one of them, in some sense we can see the others, for …

A Holocaust Pleasing to God

Plinio’s bedroom was adjacent to the study where his late grandfather used to work. After the latter’s death no one else had used the room, which always remained closed. One day, in search of some distraction which might alleviate his worries, Plinio decided to enter that room, and his attention …

The Interrelationship of the Three Archangels

We may ask ourselves what relationship exists between the respective roles of the three Archangels: St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael. They seem to constitute a kind of closed circuit, a totality, in the manner of a trinity. How is this “trinity” linked to the entire angelic world? All …

A Message Received with Love and Devotion

One day, Plinio was in gymnastics class at St. Louis College, where he studied.1 As he would later recount, the area was framed by elegant and graceful bamboo trees, planted with well-aligned and symmetrical regularity on a ground covered with pure white sand.

On Pilgrimage Within a Gaze

The Wondrous Fragrance of Christmas

Nothing could be more opportune, on the occasion of Christmas, than for us to comment on the advent of the Incarnate Word into the world, born of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

“Save Me, Holy Queen!”

I had a habit of getting up late on Sundays, but that day I got up very early because I was no longer tired and could not sleep any more. So I decided to go to Mass at the Salesian church – the Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus …

An Intercessor for Building the Edifice of Life

There was an aspect of Dona Lucilia’s soul that manifested itself in the following way: Since she had a maternal love that was inclined to embrace an indefinite number of children, if someone came along who was even somewhat good-hearted and of an age to be her child or grandchild, …

We Are All Called to Heroism

My interlocutor mentioned the heroism of the crusaders, the religious, the martyrs and a series of other forms of heroism. What is common among all of them? Between the heroism of the martyrs and that of the crusaders, for example? These could almost be called opposite heroisms, for that of …
