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 …

Two Ways of Rising

A Latin adage says that “mater artium necessitas”, necessity is the mother of the arts. This principle, applicable to practically every field of human endeavour, is perhaps nowhere more clearly expressed than in architecture. Buildings, which arose for the practical purpose of shelter and protection, have almost always also taken …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
