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 …

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 …

Let Us Convert Before the Door Is Closed

According to contemporary thinking, the word kindness can designate a thousand qualities, except for one: seriousness. And so it has become synonymous with acquiescence to error or wilful blindness to what needs to be corrected or warned against. But in God, kindness is something very different… In the Gospel for …

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. Nowadays, what is the “table of values” by which we judge something? In relation to social media and other current “news” media, for …
