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 …

The Prophet of the Most High

On this second Sunday of Advent, the figure of St. John the Baptist appears, in the writing of St. Matthew, preaching in the desert of Judea. He dressed roughly and ate wild honey and locusts, in contrast to the worldly customs of the time. Inhabitants of Jerusalem, Judea and beyond …

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 …

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 …
