Pardoning Is the Work of a Giant

Today’s Gospel, to be read together with St. Matthew’s (cf. Mt 5:38-48), invites us to have the soul of a giant and to be magnanimous;1 to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us, blessing those who curse us and praying for those who slander us (cf. …

Sanctity: The Axis of History

The excerpts from the Word of God chosen by the Holy Church for the Liturgy of this solemnity can help us to contemplate history in a way very different from the tedious succession of dates and facts that we learn in school. Yes, because this great process that unfolds under …

The Day to Help Those Who Have Left Us

The Church can be compared to a magnificent palace with three interconnected levels. On the highest level is the Church Triumphant, in which the saints – those who did violence to Heaven (cf. Mt 11:12), entered “by the narrow door” (Lk 13:24) and heard the sweet call: “enter into the …

Venerable and Symbolic Stones

Just as people receive Baptism, sacred buildings are also “baptized” or, to use more appropriate terms, consecrated or dedicated to God. If there is a ritual to bless family homes, why should there not be something similar for buildings intended for divine worship? The Temple of Jerusalem – erected to …

The End of My World

Two moments are crucial in a man’s existence: his birth and his departure from this world. The banished children of Eve experience exceptional rest in both circumstances: upon entering life, the child is placed in a cradle, a place associated with hope for what it will become in the future; …

The King’s Victory and the Sceptic’s Defeat

“The sceptics may sneer. But the sneer of sceptics has never been able to deter the victorious march of those who have faith,” stated Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. And reading the Gospel chosen for this solemnity (cf. Lk 23:35-43) we exclaim in the same vein: the impious may mock …

Let Us Enter the Ark of the Holy Church!

Advent is the phase of the Liturgical Year “especially devoted to recollection, to a discreet compunction, and to the thrilling hope of the great joy that the birth of the Messiah will bring. Thus, everyone prepared to welcome the Child-God who, in the virginal maternal sanctuary, drew closer, day by …

The Pledge of Our Victory!

The Ascension of the Lord is already our victory! Jesus ascends to the highest Heaven to reign over the Seraphim, Cherubim, Principalities and Powers. He goes before us to prepare a place for us, to then come back and take us with Him (cf. Jn 14:2-3). Now, if our Head …

The Greatest Turnaround in History

There is great rejoicing in the Sanhedrin. The Nazarene has failed! His defeat could not have been more complete! The crowds, witnesses of His miracles, stimulated by sizable sums of money, clamoured for His destruction. The most ignominious death eliminated Him from the living. And two thieves flanked Him, forever …

Who Is God? What Is God Like?

An innocent little boy, five or six years old, asked himself: “Who is God?” And to the answer of this question he dedicated his life. However, after writing more than eight million seven hundred thousand words, towards the end of his life St. Thomas Aquinas had a supernatural vision and …
