Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
It has been suggested by some, primarily within the pro-life movement, that the term pre-embryo should not be used in discussing the stages of pregnancy and fetal development. Their argument is that the term diminishes the value of the embryo proper as being less than a human person. This could then be used to advocate[…]
Agatha, her goodness coincides with her name and way of life. She won a good name by her noble deeds, and by her name she points to the nobility of those deeds. Agatha, her mere name wins all men over to her company. She teaches them by her example to hasten with her to the[…]
February 4th is the traditional memorial of the the erudite Frankish monk, Rabanus Maurus (+856), one of the most learned men of his age, unfortunately and inaccurately called the ‘Dark Ages’, but which were, on the contrary, filled with much light. Rabanus is famous for many things – his holy life, first and foremost, his[…]
Having children and raising them is a sacrificial act, or, rather, an unending series of sacrificial acts over many years. One must give of oneself, all of oneself, daily, hourly, minutely, to the new life, or lives, that one bears. Once that baby comes into the world, you’re in it for at least 18 years,[…]

In the presentation of Jesus at the temple to the Father the Church also saw the role and mission of consecrated persons who give their lives to God.

Thomas Merton—a well-known religious figure of a generation ago—was made uneasy by Matthew 6.5: “Amen I say to you, they have received their reward,” words used by Jesus to describe the recognition the Pharisees[…]
When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph brought the child Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (Lk. 2:22). ⧾ Today we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and acknowledge Him as a light for revelation to the Gentiles and[…]
I had no idea this proposed legislation even existed, until now. Bill C-3 is in its third reading, and all it needs is royal assent from a pliant ‘king’ to become the law of the land, as Canada continues its descent into the depths of the culture of death, under Trudeau and his Libranos. Here[…]
As our own Messieurs Trudeau and Guilbeault plan to ‘phase out’ gas-powered vehicles by 2030 – bonnes chances with that, and which really means that only the ‘elite’ will have cars – why does the climate-zealot, no-carbon munchkin Ms. Thurnberg need nine of them, while so many of can scarcely find one?
