Priests in Time and in Eternity
The priest was ordained to be Christ, alter Christus. Therefore, his sanctification is not an option, it is a duty.
A Sign of Unsurpassed Love
The Eucharist is above all a demonstration of God’s love for us. He wanted to give Himself to us fully, so that we might obtain more than our parents possessed in Paradise, with a view to eternal blessedness.
The Secret of God and the Secret of Mary
In view of the Blessed Virgin, God created all beings. Men and Angels will therefore be judged according to how closely they resemble Mary; She is the Book of Life.
Embraced by Mary
There will be a moment in which public opinion, duly united to Mary Most Holy, will experience the gratuitous, enveloping and inexhaustible love of her who will be the effective Queen of future centuries.
A Desire to Communicate, Awaiting Reciprocity
Mary feels special compassion for our weakness and grants us not only her good counsel, but also the strength to put it into practice.
Genazzano:a Lifelong Devotion
Before the holy fresco, no one can remain excluded from the scene as a mere spectator. Near the Mother of Good Counsel, there is only one position to take: to unite oneself to that Child and let oneself be carried by Our Lady. That is, to make oneself a son!
Grace and the Secret of Mary
It is necessary for new graces to come, and they will come, as before, from the Heart of Mary, in which dwell unprecedented graces, which were granted only to God’s chosen one.
Elevation to Divine Life
Grace is a free gift, a divine present superior to all the created natural order. Through it we are elevated from the merely human plane to the category of deified beings.
Leo XIV and the Unitive Way
The Successors of Peter are sons of their time, and Pope Leo XIV is no exception. In every Pontiff there is a kind of “primordial light,” a unique vocation, which makes him illuminate a special facet of the Petrine ministry.
“My thoughts are higher than your thoughts”
From the contrast between the criteria of men and those of Our Lord in choosing His first Vicar, we learn an important lesson: human judgement easily errs when considering divine works, if it is not aided by grace.
