Back when I was a young child and adolescent, sometime around 1948 to 1960, the best fun you could get in my old hometown, especially for the poor, were at the religious festivals.

After the Three Kings Festival went by, reaching its peak on the 6th of January, we anxiously awaited the glorious ...

Foto: Inter-American Division A Santa Igreja é minha mãe. Pelo batismo, ela me gerou para a vida da graça. Por isso mesmo, todos os batizados são meus irmãos. Devo à minha mãe obediência, respeito e gratidão. Afinal, ela me alimenta com o Pão da Palavra e o Pão da Eucaristia. Ela me ensina, adverte e corrige. Quando eu morrer, ela virá fechar-me os olhos.

Virtues It is wise to not bait good people; it is wise to not provoke the pure of heart. In every human being, even the best of them, there lies a series of dormant ferocities. It’s important to remember to not rouse them. I’m a naturally born poor man, and I repeat: a poor man by vocation. To this day, luxury, ostentation, jewels, only confuse and offend me. Men were not born to be great. The m...
