“I will not leave you orphans”

Some authors refer to the passage taken from today’s Liturgy the “quintessence of the Gospel”; such is its depth and richness of meaning. Shortly before, the Saviour had instituted the Apostles as priests, giving them His own Body and Blood as a sign of the covenant. Then, He manifests Himself …

Sentinels of Light

Leo XII1 teaches that one of the duties of Roman Pontiffs is to be watchmen over Christ’s flock: to reject the evils that threaten it, as well as to warn the faithful against the snares of the Church’s enemies, driving them out and thwarting them with their authority. This is …

Peter’s Tents

Three Apostles and two prophets before God made Man, who on the summit of Mount Tabor shows Himself in all His splendour. This is the magnificent and sublime scene of the Transfiguration! An unfathomable spectacle, witnessed on earth by Peter, James, and John, and the representatives of the blessed, the …

The Church that Jesus Desired

Among the countless eloquent expressions that French ingenuity has devised throughout the centuries to express certain attitudes of the human spirit, we find the following: “Si j’étais le Bon Dieu… – If I were the Good God…” This refers to the age-old temptation that the human soul has to judge …

The Water of Life

The Gospel tells us that it was around noon when Jesus, tired from His journey, sat down by Jacob’s well. Seeing a Samaritan woman approaching to draw water, He asked her, “Give me a drink.” Given the hostility between Jews and Samaritans, and having recognized that Our Lord was from …

The Process of Conversion

The spiritual life is a process. No one becomes holy overnight, and no one falls from one day to the next; everything happens step by step, both ascending and descending, for this is the normal path in the state of trial in which we find ourselves on this earth. This …

Jesus Departed, but He Left Us Mary

The French expression “Partir, c’est mourir un peu”1 resonates with particular intensity when we reflect on the meaning of farewells in different contexts of life. Journeys, for example, are preceded by careful preparation that culminates in separation. On these occasions, the last words take on even greater weight, especially when …

The Obviousness of Truth

“There is no need to state the obvious.” For centuries, this adage has often been uttered to attest to how redundant and superfluous it is to state what is evident. However, in this time of profound religious relativism and increasing spiritual insensibility, it is imperative to recall that the obvious …

Let Us Also Choose the Best Part!

In her autobiography, St. Therese of Lisieux recounts that, experiencing a certain perplexity in finding inner peace, she decided to peruse the Pauline epistles. By chance, chapters twelve and thirteen of the First Letter to the Corinthians fell beneath her eyes, and more especially one of the passages taken up …

Whose Voice Do I Listen To?

It is moving to analyse how Our Lord Jesus Christ used everyday imagery to teach a predominantly agricultural and pastoral people. In this sense, the words gathered from this Sunday’s Gospel must have touched certain fibres of the soul of those people in a special way. The sheepfolds, protected by …
