A Veritable Battlefield

A Veritable Battlefield

We must adore the dispositions of Divine Providence, which, having instituted the Church on this earth, allows her to encounter every kind of obstacle, and formidable resistance on her way.

Defender and Interpreter of the Franciscan Charism

Today I would like to talk about St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio. […] St. Bonaventure, in all likelihood born in 1217, died in 1274. Thus he lived in the 13th century, an epoch in which the Christian faith which had deeply penetrated the culture and society of Europe inspired imperishable works …

Paradigm of Motherhood

Paradigm of Motherhood
