The Magnificent Hierarchy of Creation

The Magnificent Hierarchy of Creation

We live in a society steeped in egalitarian principles. To a greater or lesser degree, we are influenced by a profound tendency to reject, or at least resent, the least authority or superiority in others.1 However, such a stance opposes evangelical doctrine, as we can see in this Sunday’s parable. …

Jesus Also Casts Us into the Storm!

Jesus Also Casts Us into the Storm!

The idea that God saves us in the storms of life is very beautiful, quite common, and entirely real. But it is much less common to consider divine goodness taking us out of the calm and casting us into the midst of storms, with the risk of sinking… Right after …

Forgiveness: God’s “Weakness”

Forgiveness: God’s “Weakness”

The maxim of the law of retaliation, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” governed the social relationships of ancient peoples. So great was its influence as a moral standard that even the chosen people – the receptacle of Revelation and messianic expectation – were themselves dominated …

The Obviousness of Truth

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 Water of Life

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 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

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 …

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

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 …

Divine Patience, Absolute Justice

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 …

Showing Prejudice… But Towards Whom?

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 …
