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 …

Everything Depends on the First Impulse

Let us imagine that ten friends set off on a pilgrimage to a certain Marian shrine located in the mountains. The journey promises to be arduous: seventy kilometres of uphill walking. We ask ourselves: how many of them will reach the finish line? It is quite simple. Those who, when …

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 …

Heaven and Hell Begin on This Earth...

By revelation from Our Lord and solemn definition from the Church, we know that there is an eternal destiny after our death: Heaven or hell, depending on how we have lived. No one escapes this, as we are taught in this Sunday’s Gospel, in which a rich man is condemned …

Our Heart Rests Only in God

Nowadays we see of all kinds of devices designed to make life easier, and they are multiplying at an almost frenetic pace: from personal grooming tools to the most advanced means of communication and locomotion, our daily lives are increasingly based on technology. However, it is not hard for a …

Do Not Be Afraid! Trust and You Will Attain Glory

There are different degrees and types of fear, which can be caused by physical, psychological, social and even religious stimuli. Accounts of some of them appear in both the Old and New Testaments to warn us against lack of faith or distrust in God. For example, shortly after the first …

The Glorification of Mary Most Holy

“The queen takes her place at your right hand in gold of Ophir” (Ps 45:10). Thus sings the psalmist, inviting us to contemplate the one who, in being assumed into Heaven, enchanted the Eternal King with her beauty. Our Lady’s immeasurable greatness is the result of her predestination to Divine …

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 …
