The Miraculous Fresco of the Mother of Good Counsel

Songs, smiles and the sound of musical instruments... The Italian people, artistic by nature, have always celebrated their patrons with joy and public pageantry.

The Sacrament of Confession - Did Jesus Christ Institute Confession?

In proclaiming that man’s life on earth is a struggle (cf. Jb 7:1), Job is only recalling the fierce clash that takes place within each person, in the choice between good and evil. Tainted by sin, human nature is weakened to such an extent that it cannot practise virtue steadily …

Roy Schoeman, the progressive unveiling of the Faith - Pursued by God, Called by Mary
