Discipline – Authority and Gentleness

Discipline - Authority & Gentleness Discipline puts an end to our inclinations, our delusions of doing our own will. It puts everything back on track.Msgr. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, EP, video below Second Commandment for the Education of Children Parents must harmonize authority with gentleness.

The Restoration of Indissolubility in Marriage

Purity, Virginity and Honour! In order for the restoration of indissolubility (in marriage) to be viable, it is necessary to first restore, in countless souls, the yearning for seriousness, austerity and mortification. Yes, and something else, which is expressed by a word as sweet as honey, as perfumed as a lily, but which detonates today like a bomb. That word is: purity. And it is followed closely by two sisters, no less sweet, no less gentle, but with even greater detonation power. These are: virginity and honour. Plinio…

Dona Lucilia in Detail / Featured / Music

Mandolin Music

Candour, Goodness and Solitude Among her domestic pastimes, we find her devoted at an early age to music, an art that reflected her own style of relating to others, overflowing with innocence. In addition to mastering the piano with ease, she was also fond of the mandolin. Her delicate fingers glided gracefully over the stringed instrument with its mother-of-pearl inlay, a gift from her father which she lovingly cherished for all of her 92 years. (Dona Lucilia p.82) The Mandolin Concerto in C major, RV 425, Antonio Vivaldi - 1725 The pieces performed by…

The Formation of Our Young Children

The Formation of Our Young Children At what age does a person define their mentality and decide the course of their life? Opinions are divided and the answer is not easy to give. There are so many factors that come into play. However, the generalized opinion is that these deliberations are made in youth, sometimes, on the way to adulthood, during university studies.
