 Stained glass window of St. Louise-Marie in the Institute's seminary church and parish in Argentina. Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Louis de Montfort; there is, of course, plenty to say about him, but especially in the context of the today’s readings, I want to focus on just one incident in his life, one particular grace that he displayed: his complete and utter abandonment and conformity to God’s will.

Fr. Mariano Vicchi, IVE Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent  In continuation with the readings from the Gospel of John that we have heard this week, today, Jesus gives the litmus test. “I do not ask you,” He said in effect, “to accept my words.

Jesus is the perfect teacher in that He does not base His claims on what He says, but on what He is and does.
