We Are All Called to Heroism

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 …

An Ever-Growing Love of the Church

An Ever-Growing Love of the Church

To know the Church in all its resplendence it is necessary, at a certain point, to sense in one’s inmost soul what it is. And the author uses the term sense because, in fact, it would be something like a mystical tasting, hearing, seeing, breathing and, even a touching of …

God’s Chosen Ones

God’s Chosen Ones

I would like to reflect on one of the Beatitudes: “Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” (Mt 5:10). In each of the Beatitudes, Our Lord Jesus Christ sets forth a principle which is in accordance with the natural or supernatural …

Regal and Victorious Presence of the Divine Infant

Regal and Victorious Presence of the Divine Infant

A Child is about to be born in Bethlehem! What can we say about this event? When the Word became incarnate and dwelt among us, what was the state of humanity? It was most certainly very similar to our present situation. Despite the sin of Adam and Eve, there was …

The Authentic Manner of Exercising Authority

The Authentic Manner of Exercising Authority

Called to Render Great Service to the Church

Called to Render Great Service to the Church

The Interrelationship of the Three Archangels

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 Grace that Marked His Life

A Grace that Marked His Life

On December 2 of 1967, Dr. Plinio was compelled to cancel the Saturday meeting he customary held for his disciples, leaving home only in the afternoon, to receive Communion at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. As he got out of the automobile, those who greeted him were shocked to …

The Historical Role of Providential Men

The Historical Role of Providential Men

In a broad sense, all men are providential, because they serve the designs of God. However, there is a special sense: there are those whom the Creator does not ask to lead merely a common life and, therefore, to serve themselves, but marks them to accomplish a mission for the …

The Perfect Priest

The Perfect Priest

Iam going to speak about the fullness of the priesthood. And this consideration takes me back to the darkest night of time, to an historical digression that comes upon man in perhaps the hardest and most crucial and period of his existence on earth. We imagine today that we are …
