Love That Attracts and Divides

This Sunday’s readings may seem strange in a world where the word love has acquired a connotation of complicity and unconditional acceptance. In fact, very different from this concept is the reality faced by those who, moved by authentic charity, have decided to follow in the Saviour’s footsteps … Although …

Let Us Convert Before the Door Is Closed

According to contemporary thinking, the word kindness can designate a thousand qualities, except for one: seriousness.

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 …

The Importance of Having Our Names Written in Heaven

Throughout the ages, people have established references by which to evaluate their surroundings. These standards are also indicative of what each era considers important, valuable and respectable.

“Do this and you will live”

Lessons from a Paternal Reproach

The public life of Our Lord Jesus Christ was intense. He travelled from village to village, teaching the Good News and announcing that the Kingdom of God was at hand. Crowds flocked to Him to be cured of their illnesses and those possessed by the devil were freed from his …

Pray in Time, to Be Together in Eternity

The most fundamental truths are often the most pure, luminous and uplifting. They share in the simplicity of God – the plenitude and source of all truth – and for this very reason they contain immense depths, capable of nourishing our spiritual and moral life. “To live is to be …

“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 …

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 …

How to Rid Ourselves of Impenitence and Pride

The prodigal son sinned gravely against God and against his father. Not even the sincere movement of his conversion is free from self-interest: “How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger” (Lk 15:17). Nevertheless, he accepts with simplicity the …
