The path to Heaven is narrow, rough and full of wearisome and trying ascents, nor can it be trodden without great toil; and therefore wrong is their way, gross their error, and assured their ruin who, after the testimony of so many thousands of saints, will not learn where to settle their footing – Blessed[…]

Vote in Parliament Tonight on Emergencies Act
The Canadian Parliament is closing up debate on this issue, and will vote tonight (Monday) at 8 p.m. on the Emergencies Act, for which there seems no need, and never was a need. Thousands of police officers to ‘break up’ and ‘illegal’ protest – perhaps the most peaceful in modern history, besides the March for[…]
Blessed Robert Southwell, Priest, Poet and Martyr
On this day, February 21, 1595, the Jesuit priest, poet, hymnodist and martyr, Robert Southwell (1561 – 1595) one of the great jewels of England, was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn. (The reader may find a fine biography, along with a number of his poems, here). He managed to evade the pursuing authorities in[…]

Dystopias and Warping Truth
Future dystopias – which now have to be written the present tense – almost invariably involve governmental control and manipulation of the people’s thoughts and consequent behaviour, with a false and deliberately manipulative view of reality foisted upon the citizenry, usually by technological means to which the people are addicted. (Ironically, and providentially, I’m publishing[…]
Freeze and Seize
As I write, the police are cracking down on the Freedom Convoy, crowding bystanders into a smaller area of downtown, while truckers are arrested. To their credit, the protestors are all being peaceful, many praying, and we should join them in that prayer. This, while the Prime Minister and his Finance Minister freeze (and seize?)[…]
If Ye Have Faith: Constructing Churches in Poland and Europe
“It is he who shall build a house for my name; he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him, and I will establish the throne of his kingship over Israel forever.” ( 1 Chronicles 22.10) The Holy Temple being a place of unity, an intersection between the divine[…]
