In 1754, author Hugh Walpole coined the term serendipity to mean a fortunate circumstance or meeting. Whatever the contrary term may be, we saw it unfold on January 29th in Washington, when a Black Hawk helicopter plowed into a commercial plane returning from Wichita, destroying both aircraft in a fireball. There were no survivors, either[…]
A note of exhortation from the Christian Medical and Dental Association of Canada to fill out the survey below, in light of the proposed law in Quebec that would permit advanced directives for euthanasia, apparently with no options to opt out. For some background on this bill, and MAiD in Canada – pardon the irony[…]
Trudeau has promised to resign – so he says, as of March 9th, and for that we may give thanks to God. But he’s still the Prime Minister until then, and we wait to see if he will keep his word (don’t laugh). His feckless ‘leadership’ has proved disastrous, strutting and fretting his hour upon[…]

At the beginning of the ‘vaccine’ mandates, many were criticized as conspiracy theorists – tin-foil-hatted crackpots – for simply questioning the safety and efficacy of these largely-untested mRNA therapies, as the juggernaut of coercive mandates rolled across the entire globe. The full truth is now being revealed – one might say, apocalyptically – in accord[…]
Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do. (Saint Thomas Aquinas, +1274)
As we recently celebrated the Feast of St Paul’s conversion should call to mind the conversion we are all called to undergo. A saint that really helps us to be docile to this kind and powerful invitation of the Holy Spirit is certainly St Francis de Sales (21 August 1567- 28 December 1622), whose feast[…]
‘This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.’ For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Law (Neh. 8:9). ⧾ The first lesson today is taken from the Book of Nehemiah, one of the historical books of the Old Testament. It speaks of the restoration[…]
