To be an apostle is a vocation that extends to all times and places. But how can we differentiate between the true and the false apostle? The Second Letter to the Corinthians offers us some valuable criteria. To be an apostle is not something exclusive to the early period of the Church, but rather a …
Our gaze does not perceive the crystal of the monstrance, but passes through it to adore God hidden under the species of bread. Does this fact have a higher symbolism? A faint light inside the sacred enclosure invites us to intimacy with God, in recollection and prayer. It comes not from the large basilica, but …
Consumed with zeal for the salvation of souls, St. Therese left us valuable teachings in her letters, happily preserved for posterity. Like a modest lamp burning day and night before the Blessed Sacrament, whether in a humble countryside chapel or in a magnificent cathedral, the heart of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, simple but …
At the side of the wonderworker Franciscan with the stigmata, Providence deigned to place a disciple who would defend his rights, so often violated by the internal and external enemies of the Church.

A stroll through the winding alleys of Rome can sometimes feel like a visit to a necropolis. In the ancient Campus Martius, for example, the imposing mausoleum …
The Church, commissioned by the Saviour to lead men to Heaven, has wise rules for the fasting prescribed by Our Lord Jesus Christ. What are they? When asked why His followers did not fast as did those of John the Baptist and the Pharisees, Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Can the wedding guests mourn as …
