Doctrine and Faith

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 …

History, theology, and spiritual guidance from one of the most relevant books of the Bible Among the many books of the Old Testament, few are as surprisingly relevant today as the Book of Nehemiah. Within its pages we find a story of ruins and reconstruction, of leadership and prayer, of …

For centuries, two neighboring peoples looked up to the same heaven, prayed to the same God, and read the same Law… yet they deeply rejected one another. They were the Jews and the Samaritans. For many modern readers, this rivalry may seem like just a historical curiosity of the Bible. …

There are phrases in the Gospel that are so well known that they run the risk of no longer surprising us. We hear them many times… but we no longer truly reflect on them. One of them is the famous declaration of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew: “You …

There are questions that cross the centuries.Questions that do not belong only to one moment in history, but that echo in every generation. One of them appears in the very first pages of the Bible.It is a simple question, yet devastating. “Where is your brother?” (Gen 4:9) God pronounces it …

When the Church Discerns with Patience: History, Theology, and Spiritual Lessons for Our Time Throughout more than two thousand years of history, the Catholic Church has defined a number of dogmas, that is, truths revealed by God which must be believed by all the faithful. However, not every theological idea …

In a world saturated with information, opinions, and constant noise, something is paradoxically becoming increasingly scarce: true wisdom. We have immediate access to data, news, and technical knowledge, yet we still struggle to know how to live, how to suffer, how to love, and how to die. The Bible clearly …

Christ Already Won Your Salvation… But You Must Receive It. There is a fundamental truth of Christianity that many people know in a superficial way, but few understand in all its depth: Christ has already redeemed the world. Yes, salvation has already been obtained. However — and here lies one …

When Holy Week arrives, most Christians immediately think of the final days of Jesus: the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Passion, and the Resurrection. However, centuries before Christ walked toward Calvary, there was a Jewish family that lived something that seems to anticipate the mystery of the Cross: …

In the history of the people of God there have been moments when faith seemed on the verge of disappearing. Times when political power, cultural pressure, and fear tried to uproot religious identity. In one of those moments arose the Maccabees, a family that decided to resist, defend the Law …

Among all the writings of the New Testament there is one that, at first glance, seems small, almost insignificant. Barely a page long. Without great doctrinal discourses, without long theological explanations. And yet, within that brief letter beats one of the most profound revolutions of the Gospel. The Letter to …

In the history of Christianity there are names that resonate with power: Peter, Paul, John… spiritual giants who founded communities and shed their blood for Christ. But beside them appears a quieter, more discreet figure… and yet an absolutely essential one. That man was Timothy. A young Christian who received …
