Virgin of the Pillar celebrated in Aragon

Juan José Omella reflects on the significance of the Virgin of the Pillar, noting the upcoming celebration of the figure. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to the apostle Santiago in the lands of Aragon to provide him with courage and encouragement during his mission to spread the Good News.

Omella emphasizes the need for solid spiritual pillars in modern life, suggesting that faith in God serves as a foundation to withstand the distractions and pressures of contemporary culture. He draws a parallel between the stability of a house built on rock and the necessity of religious devotion to maintain strength during difficult times.
