Rejoice and Admire!

When we consider the words of the prophet Isaiah chosen for this Sunday’s second reading – “The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, […] and shall flourish like the lily” (35:1) – we see how often God takes pleasure in suspending the rules He created for nature. …

A Decisive Choice

When Should I Pray?

This Sunday, Our Lord offers us the parable of the widow and the unjust judge, to show us “the necessity […] to pray always without becoming weary” (Lk 18:1). Narrated only in the Gospel of St. Luke, it portrays a defenceless woman before a wicked magistrate who fears neither God …
