Doctrine and Faith

In a world where judgment is immediate, public, and often ruthless—social media, cancel culture, labeling—the Gospel episode of the adulterous woman resonates with striking relevance. It is not just an ancient story: it is a mirror of our human condition, of our miseries… and of the infinite mercy of God. …

To speak about the Libro de Joel is to enter into one of the briefest, yet most intense and strikingly relevant voices in all of Sacred Scripture. In just a few pages, this prophet offers a message that cuts across the centuries: the need to return to God with all …

1. An Encounter That Echoes Through the Ages There are scenes in the Gospel that seem simple, almost brief… yet, when contemplated deeply, they confront us directly, uncomfortably, and very personally. One of them is the story of the rich young man. This is not a distant or foreign story. …

We live in an age that seeks what is immediate, comfortable, and painless. Yet at the heart of Christianity lies a truth that unsettles and, at the same time, liberates: purification is necessary. It is not a punishment, nor a humiliation, but a divine process through which God prepares us …

We live in a paradoxical age. Never have we had so much access to information… and yet never has it been so common to doubt everything. Especially when it comes to faith. Many people ask: is the New Testament a collection of late legends… or a reliable testimony of real …

In a world saturated with theories, apocalyptic fears, and superficial readings of the Bible, few passages generate as much curiosity—and confusion—as that of the 144,000 sealed in the Book of Revelation. Are they a literal group?A spiritual elite?Do they refer only to Jews?Does this have anything to do with you …

There are phrases in the Gospel that pierce through the centuries because they contain, in a concentrated form, the entire mystery of the human heart. One of them is the one spoken by Martha of Bethany before Jesus Christ: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have …

There are words that echo through the centuries without fading. Words that are not merely history, but a living call. Among them resounds with striking force that proclamation of Pontius Pilate: “Ecce Homo” — “Behold the man” (Jn 19:5). But what does this expression really mean? Why has the Church …

We live in a time when everything seems urgent… except what is eternal. We look for quick answers, immediate solutions, comfort without conversion. And yet, in the midst of this modern noise, there is a book from the Old Testament that speaks with surprising clarity to our current situation: Baruch. …

In the Gospel, we find scenes that do not merely recount an event, but open a direct window into the mystery of God’s heart. One of these—intense, unsettling, and profoundly human—is the encounter between Jesus and the Canaanite woman (cf. Matthew 15:21–28). At first glance, it may seem like a …

Introduction: when pain becomes a path There are stories in the Gospel that, though brief in words, are immense in depth. One of them is the story of the woman who suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years and who, in the midst of the crowd, touched Christ’s garment. She …

There are scenes in the Gospel that are not just read… they are felt. The miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus of Bethany is one of them. It is not simply another wonder among many, but a profound revelation of the heart of God, a foretaste of the definitive victory …

1. A scene that transcends the centuries There are phrases that do not grow old. Words that, spoken two thousand years ago, still echo today in every Mass, in every soul that approaches God with humility. One of them is: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under …

There are scenes in the Gospel that seem small, almost anecdotal… and yet they contain a depth capable of transforming an entire life. The story of Zacchaeus, told in the Gospel of Luke (Lk 19:1–10), is one of them. There are no spectacular miracles. No crowds being healed. No long …

There are characters in the Gospel who shine because of their evident holiness… and others who move us precisely because of their weakness. Nicodemus belongs to this second group. He is not an apostle, not a martyr, not a saint known for great heroic acts… at least, not at the …

We live in an age in which sin no longer needs to manifest externally in order to take root in the soul. It is enough for it to find refuge in the imagination. There, in that invisible space where no one else enters, one of the most decisive spiritual battles …

The story of Jesus’ death is not just an ancient account; it is the key to our faith, a mystery that reveals the heart of God and teaches us how to live fully. For many, hearing that “Jesus died” may seem tragic, unjust, or even distant. However, understanding why Jesus …

There are questions that seem simple… until you start taking them seriously.Why did God expel Adam and Eve from Paradise? Was it really such a big deal?And even more: if God didn’t want them to eat the fruit, why put the tree there? Wasn’t it a kind of trap? And …

There are questions that make us uncomfortable… and this is one of them:why did God, who is love, allow such a radical punishment as the Flood?Doesn’t it seem contradictory? Isn’t it excessive? And yet, when one goes deeper—not superficially—into the account in Genesis, something very different emerges: this is not …

A guide to understanding its meaning, beauty, and necessity today In a world that deeply values equality, personal autonomy, and horizontal relationships, the word hierarchy can sound uncomfortable—even suspicious. For many, it evokes rigid structures, misused power, or distance between people. However, in the traditional Catholic vision, hierarchy does not …

Introduction: a mystery that even children can understand There is a question that, sooner or later, every child asks:“Who made all of this?” The sky, the stars, the animals, life… and ourselves.Far from being a naive question, this is one of the deepest questions a human being can ask. And, …

We live in a time marked by haste, uncertainty, and a profound search for meaning. Emotions come and go intensely: joy, sadness, fear, hope, anxiety… Often, we don’t know how to manage them. Yet the Holy Scriptures—far from being an ancient, distant text—reveal themselves as a true map of the …

We live in an age marked by constant noise, uncertainty, and, paradoxically, a deep sense of spiritual silence. Many ask themselves: does God still speak today? Does He have something to say amid our personal, family, and social crises? The answer, if we look carefully at Sacred Scripture, is a …

We live in an era that speaks a great deal about rights, but very little about sin. There is much talk about freedom, yet rarely about responsibility. And yet, Christian tradition has always taught that not all sins are the same. Some have a particular gravity because they do not …

We live in a strange era. Never before have there been so many speeches about rights, justice, equality, and progress… and yet it has never been so easy to see how evil presents itself as something normal, even admirable. Moral corruption is justified.Lies become strategy.Sin disguises itself as freedom. The …

Simple stories that contain the wisdom of the Kingdom of God Parables occupy a central place in the preaching of Jesus Christ. They are not merely moral tales or children’s stories: they are doors into the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Using images from everyday life—seeds, shepherds, families, roads—Jesus …

A spiritual guide to discovering the power, mercy, and love of Christ The miracles of Jesus are not merely astonishing stories from the past. They are living signs of God’s love, manifestations of His power and profound teachings about faith, trust, and mercy. In the Gospels we find many miracles, …

A profound catechesis about the light that transforms the heart There are scenes in the Gospel that possess a special power. They do not merely recount a miracle; they reveal the very mystery of Christ and the spiritual drama of the human person. One of these is the healing of …

Among the many figures of the Old Testament, some stand out for their courage, others for their holiness, and others for their political leadership. But there is one man who united three missions that are deeply necessary in any time of spiritual crisis: to restore faith, to return to the …

In the midst of a world marked by uncertainty, haste, and the constant feeling of scarcity—lack of time, peace, and security—there is a biblical phrase that has crossed the centuries with astonishing strength: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”(Psalm 23:1) These words, seemingly simple, contain one of …
