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 …

“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 …

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 …

“Do not let your hearts be troubled”

St. John is the only Evangelist who dwells on the sermon delivered by Our Lord at the Last Supper, immediately before He went to the Garden of Olives, the place of His arrest. This Sunday’s Gospel recounts the beginning of that sermon, in which the Divine Master seeks to instil …
