Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
The March for Life was in many ways, as always, a rousing success – thousands of zealous pro-lifers of all ages and all walks of life coming together to witness to the dignity and protection of life from conception to natural death, to pray, and celebrate together. I have been going every year since the[…]
I recently had another interview with Bonnie Landry’s popular ‘Make Joy Normal’ podcast, on the theme of the transcendentals, and how they apply to our daily life. If you’d like to listen, here it be, and your comments are, as always, welcome.
Friday, May 12th, we Franciscan Capuchins celebrate with great joy the feast of our Capuchin confrere St Leopold Mandić. Who was this great man so little in stature but so great in holiness? Leopoldo Mandić was born in Castelnuovo di Càttaro (Herceg – Novi nel Montenegro) on 12 May 1866. He entered the Capuchin Friars[…]
‘But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom my Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you’ (Jn. 14:24). Our Gospel text is taken from Our Lord’s High Priestly Prayer, offered at the Last Supper. The Holy Spirit, who will be revealed as[…]

Trudeau and his Liberals have announced that they intend, if re-elected, to double down on double mandatory vaccination, if not perpetual boosters on the horizon.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment explores complex psychological and sociological themes such as morality, socialism, and the effects of isolation. The story begins in St. Petersburg, Russia, during the 1860s. The plotline follows a clever ex-student, Raskolnikov, through the intimate psychological journey of his decision to step over the law and commit murder. He explores his[…]
Actor Robert de Niro, a septuagenarian on the cusp of octogenarianhood (he turns 80 in August) has just fathered a child.
