Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

Part 5: New Insights on the Gospels: Preface of Cardinal Rode, CM




The Author received the Pro Ecclesia and Pontifice Medal conferred by Pope Benedict XVI from the hands of Cardinal Frac Rodé, CM

[The work New Insights on the Gospels reveals,] in the first place, the theologian, who with admirable pedagogical discernment and ample theological erudition, draws from the ancient and new treas- ures of the intellectus fidei—from the Church Fathers to our days—to offer the people of God the bread of sound doctrine proceeding from the sun of the Word of God (…).
the author is a preacher with secure doctrinal footing, a pastor’s heart and the irresistible charism of a leader (…) who does not evade thorny questions, but is “able to threaten the powerful; [who seek out] those who neglect, squander, even destroy their lives, for the sake of the right and the good and their own well-being, their own happiness.” (…)
We discover, again and again on these pages, the solution to the spiritual problems of twenty-first century man, leading him to holiness and helping him to avoid falling into the temptation of pastoral utilitarianism (…).
The present collection of Gospel commentaries indisputably fills all the conditions for being not only a valuable aid to implementing the desires of the Holy Father for this Year of Faith, but also for serving as an abiding reference point for the clergy and faithful on the journey that should bring us to continually rediscover the beauty of faith.
