When your memories fall apart, do not look for something else to make new memories from. If you do not preserve what has been imprinted in you from day to day, do not expect from yourself anything worth remembering!

The Weapon of Truth
When I write you a text in the form of a question and an answer, I generally refer to one of the older brethren I have come to know during the course of my commitment. The communion of life in the Church convinced me that the knowledge of God is preserved by being passed on ...

Since its launch, the management of the page has arranged for me to be one of its administrators. This has given me, if I wanted, to follow the movement of those who are taking an interest in it. I noticed that, from time to time, there are friends who stroll over this page, leaving behind ...

“Apply your heart to my knowledge”. With these words, in which the writer of the Book of Proverbs urged his readers to accept the words of the wise (22:17), the Church prompts us one by one to a conscious adherence to the experience of the brethren whom the Spirit of God had raised for Himself, ...

The most beautiful texts that I conveyed to you over these years are the ones that I have read with you. I conveyed to you, many times, words uttered by other people, saints, priests, theologians, thinkers, writers and poets… Today, from the quiver of Saint John Chrysostom, I will pass on to you these words ...
