St Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

The Saints teach us how to live humility.

"Modern society is drowning in the sorrows of human passions and it is distancing itself from every ideal of love and peace. Catholics, we and you, must bring the breath of goodness that can only spring from faith in Christ." Pier Giorgio Frassati

For as they who know how to purify gold and silver, destroy the dross by fire, so the Saviour by the teaching of the Gospel in the power of the Spirit cleanses the minds of those who believe in Him. This then is that wholesome and useful fire by which the inhabitants of earth, in a manner cold and dead through sin, revive to a life of piety. -Saint Cyril

Let us not forget: families are the cradle of the future of humanity. In recent decades, we have received a sign that fills us with joy but also makes us think. It...

Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit. We see the Magisterium working from a very early point.

Love of neighbor is thus shown to be possible in the way proclaimed by the Bible, by Jesus. It consists in the very fact that, in God and with God, I love even the person whom I do not like or even know.
