From Which Leprosy Do I Need a Cure?

In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus was passing through a village on His way to Jerusalem when ten lepers stopped at a distance – for, according to the laws of the time, people afflicted with infectious diseases were forbidden to approach the healthy – and begged Him, “Have pity on us!” …

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 …

Do I Consider Myself Just?

This Sunday’s Gospel presents us with the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, which Our Lord addressed to “those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else” (Lk 18:9), that is, to a group of proud people. In it, Jesus portrays two men who go …

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. …

Everything Depends on the First Impulse

Two Silences… and One Lesson

Some time ago, a challenge launched by an internationally renowned company made headlines: they offered a large sum of money to anyone who could remain for more than an hour in a room isolated from any outside noise. Despite the prize, which seemed so simple to achieve, people were unable …

Through the Cross We Reach the Light

The historical occasion celebrated by the feast of this Sunday takes us back to the discovery of the true Cross of Christ in Jerusalem by St. Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, in approximately 320, and the consecration, in the same city, of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre on September …

Preferential Option for All

The parable of the unfaithful steward can cause a certain degree of consternation because of the master’s praise for the cleverness of this bad steward, as well as Jesus’ recommendation that we use dishonest wealth to make friends who will welcome us into eternal dwellings (cf. Lk 16:1-9). How can …

“If you have faith…”

This Sunday’s Liturgy could well be summarized in the gentle rebuke of the Divine Master contained in the verse that gives this article its title… And as an expression of what occurs in souls with regard to the gift of faith, the metaphor of the mustard seed draws us into …

A God Who Is… Meek and Humble?

The Liturgy for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time highlights a marvellous aspect of the Soul of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which the Gospel Acclamation invites us to imitate: “learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart” (Mt 11:29). This declaration, which today can even be heard …
