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 …

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 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 …

Divine Patience, Absolute Justice

How easy it is to correct with excessive rigour, especially when it comes to someone else’s fault that bothers us! In the parable of the wheat and the tares, however, Our Lord Jesus Christ shows us a different path. True authority is not exercised only through power, but is nurtured …

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 …

Showing Prejudice… But Towards Whom?

There is something enigmatic in this Sunday’s Gospel. A Canaanite woman – therefore not Jewish, a pagan – cries out after Jesus, imploring the liberation of her daughter, tormented by a demon. Our Lord, however, does not answer… She becomes so insistent in her plea that the disciples themselves intercede …

If We Have Died with Christ,We Shall Also Live with Him

Immortality: this is the dream of all mankind since the original fall… In fact, “sin came into the world through one man and death through sin” (Rom 5:12). But how to restore life? Paradoxically, with death, as Our Lord warns in this Sunday’s Gospel: “Whoever finds his life will lose …

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 …

From the Malignant Enemy Defend Me!

Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of Lent, the liturgical season that prepares us to celebrate the Paschal mystery. These forty days evoke the years of pilgrimage of the Israelite people through the desert towards the Promised Land, as well as the days of fasting and penance of Our Lord Jesus …
