Two Ways of “being god”?
Here are two artistic representations, each portraying a different god, as conceived by their respective worshippers. The first depicts the god Moloch at the apex of the ritual proper to him. The second is an image of Our Lord Jesus Christ that presides over the entrance door of Amiens Cathedral …

The Mentality of Jesus, the Origin of Holy Tendencies
Our Lord Jesus Christ’s passage on this earth produced the greatest explosion in history – in the supernatural sphere of grace and salvation, no doubt, but not solely. The Redemption’s “force of impact” was felt far beyond, penetrating to the furthest reaches of human endeavour. In fact, it is difficult …

Sister Poverty and Lady Grandeur
By declaring himself united in a symbolic marriage with Sister Poverty, St. Francis of Assisi left us a precious lesson. Since the sharing of goods is inherent to marriage, we can imagine what “benefit” the holy mendicant must have derived from this mystical betrothal… Sister Poverty, obviously poor by nature, …

The Mendicant Emperor and the Omnipotent Poor Man
The scenes illustrated on these pages depict one of the most astounding events in history, not only of the Church, but of civilization itself. It is so emblematic that it marked minds and eras since its occurrence in the 11th century. Much of this symbolic significance is concentrated in the …

Silence, an Inexhaustible Source of Harmony
Silence… stillness… Let us pause for a moment and imagine ourselves in a solitary place where our senses can be better penetrated by the fullness of calm. Be it on the peak of a towering mountain, on the edge of a misty cliff battered by the waves of the sea, …

Letters and “emails”, Autographs and Automatisms
We may be stating the most obvious of banalities when we say that we are a long way – and how long! – away from the days when people used to write letters. But, the evident aside, let us consider the extent to which a letter can still be, even …

True Action Is Only Born of Contemplation
In a previous article,1 we were able to consider the heroic virtues of St. Joan of Arc. We recalled her feats of arms, her military genius inspired by Heaven, her audacity guided by “voices,” and her unwavering courage – seen, incidentally, as presumption and recklessness by cowards. She disconcerted both …

Reflection, Serenity and Judgement in the Art of Vermeer
What little is known about the life of one of the greatest masters of Baroque painting in the Netherlands, Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), seems to indicate that, despite being born into the predominantly Protestant culture of that region, he joined the Catholic Church, influenced by his wife and with the help …

True Heroes
In those distant times when “the philosophy of the Gospel governed the states,”1 a supreme ideal arose, shrouded in the splendours of the legendary and embodied in men and women who, with virtues and epics, wrote some of the most beautiful pages of history. Blessed were those days when children …

Contradictory or Complementary Virtues?
Born a shepherdess in an obscure town in a region considered secondary, St. Joan of Arc was a prophet, virgin, queen, warrior, and martyr. And to adorn her with the glory of resembling Him, Our Lord also willed that the Pucelle suffer defamation and betrayal from the clergy of her …
