“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 …

A Priestly People

For a sovereign state to exist, it needs a people, a defined territory, an organized government, and laws that regulate the common good. However, a people can exist united by cultural or spiritual ties, even without their own territory, as is the case with Christians: “They dwell in their own …

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 …

“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 …

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 …

Deliver Me, Lord, From My “Friends”

Friend: what a hackneyed word! We use it to label relatives or neighbours, work colleagues, study partners, or mere acquaintances… On social media, “friends” multiply, sometimes reaching the thousands. However, as the saying goes: “a friend to all is a friend to none”… It is a fact that friendships are …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …
