Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden’ (Mt. 5:14). Imagine the astonishment of those who heard these words for the very first time. Our Lord extended their importance to universal proportions; and yet He says the same of us and to us in this our hearing.[…]
In 2016, two weeks after it was legalized in Canada, a patient asked for my help in referring her for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). As a registered nurse visiting the sick and the dying in their homes, my responsibility was to report her request to her family doctor as well as to her community’s[…]
The true light has come, the light that enlightens every man who is born into this world. Let all of us, my brethren, be enlightened and made radiant by this light. Let all of us share in its splendour, and be so filled with it that no one remains in the darkness. (Saint Sophronius, +638)
Two connected ominous videos, courtesy of the folks over at SDA, who post things few others find, and fewer still want to make public. What Klaus Schwaub and his henchmen over at WEF have in mind for us scarcely entered the mind of even the most dystopic of dystopian authors, at least as a package[…]
When you stop believing in heaven, you’re going to make one up, and the fake version always ends up some sort of hell, albeit a subtle and insidious one. We have seen this with communism – everyone sharing everything and all animals equal – and what happens inevitably is a corrupt plutocracy, a kakocracy, rule[…]
For I will leave in the midst of you a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord – the remnant of Israel (Zeph. 3:12). Our Gospel text this Sunday is very familiar to us. The Beatitudes are sometimes referred to as the Charter of God’s Kingdom, a magna[…]
Our Church’s tradition has promoted the practice of lectio divina, i.e., a meditative reading of Scripture. We would do well to follow in these footsteps by examining the Beatitudes, today’s Gospel, which open the Sermon on the Mount, the discourse in which Jesus presents the new covenant replacing that which Moses brought down to the[…]
The ‘most rewarding work she has ever done‘. So Dr. Ellen Wiebe describes her practice – such as it is – as a specialist in what is euphemistically called MAiD, or medical assistance in dying, where physicians such as Weibe help you die or, to cut to the chase, kill you. It’s termed euthanasia, even[…]
A blessed memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, co-workers of Saint Paul, both of them ordained by him into the early episcopacy of the Church, when every bishop was a ‘missionary’, sent forth into unknown, hostile, pagan territory, meaning an almost certain martyrdom. Paul’s two letters to Timothy and one to Titus are bracing for[…]
(On this birthday of Scotland’s national poet, ’tis fitting that we received this submission from Magda Vanderburg, including a brief analysis of Rabbie Burns’ poem, ‘A Man’s a Man’. We begin with a recorded recital, if ye like. Editor). Robert Burns, in his song “For a’ that and a’ that” argues that it is not[…]
