Trust in God or Trust in Man?
This Sunday’s Liturgy is like a double-edged sword. The first reading, taken from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, is piercingly clear: “Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings” and “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.” It is a curse and a blessing that accompany …

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. …

Mary Has Something of Jesus, and Jesus Has Everything of Mary
When an embryo is being formed in the mother’s womb, a mysterious phenomenon called fetal microchimerism takes place, whereby some cells detach from the baby and settle in the mother’s body. This is the presence of cells that are genetically different from those specific to a given organism – in …

Where Can We Find the Star of Bethlehem?
On this Solemnity of the Epiphany, the Holy Magi shine before our eyes with special brilliance. The pious adventure of these idealistic, courageous and faith-filled men is a true parable of the journey of every baptized person.

A Prophecy Laden with Hope
The episode of the Wedding Feast at Cana emphasizes the intercessory power of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy, who with her unfailing supplication came to the aid of the troubled spouses who had run out of an indispensable component of a wedding feast: wine. The Blessed Virgin appears in this …

“The Law of the Lord God is perfect”… and Unchanging
Some non-Catholic theologians and philosophers – and even some who call themselves Catholics – claim that God could have formulated the Ten Commandments by forbidding what He commands and commanding what He forbids. For example, instead of saying “You shall not kill,” He could have commanded “You shall murder,” or …

Mary: The Way to the Eucharist
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ invites us to contemplate the excellence of divine wisdom: God, in the immensity of His love, makes Himself food to remain with us in the innermost depths of our being. As Scholasticism teaches, every agent acts in proportion and …

We Thank You, Lord, for Persecutions!
How many saints expressed their gratitude to God for being persecuted, giving unequivocal proof that they understood this Sunday’s Gospel! In it, we encounter the most sublime preaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ: the Sermon on the Mount. The most sublime, yes, and the most radical. Only divine lips could …

“No night is eternal”
The unalterable regularity with which the celebrations of the Liturgical Year unfold, despite the fluctuations of earthly events, is a demonstration of the celestial majesty of the Church, always loftily surpassing the capricious ebb and flow of human passions. Grand, but not indifferent, she uses the Liturgy to manifest herself …
