Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Elizabeth Kindelmann (1913 – 1985), a poor, Hungarian mother of six children, and a lay Carmelite, was widowed at the age of thirty-three. In the first chapter of her Spiritual Diary, she wrote about her suffering as a single, Catholic mother living in Communist Hungary. “All my cares destroyed my solitude and drew me away[…]
As Holy Week begins with Passion Sunday, we might turn to the saints, who can give us a helping hand during our meditation and contemplation of this central mystery of our Christian faith. They act as faithful companions throughout this journey. The Cross remains steadfast whilst the world is ravaged by every kind of current.[…]
Vexilla regis prodeunt; The banners of the king come forth; fulget crucis mysterium, brightly gleams the mystery of the cross quo carne carnis conditor by which the creator of flesh in the flesh suspensus est patibulo. was hung from[…]

Equity and equality will be treated generally although the arguments presented will apply similarly in the special case of[…]
It’s hard to contain my pleasure or my surprise at the continuing interest in Jane Austen. The more-or-less successful adaptations[1] of her books for film and television as well as a library of offshoot novels indicate that many people who would seem to disagree on every other topic join in admiring her.

We have heard that “God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform,”[1] a phrase that occurred to me as I listened to the account of David’s being anointed as king. Surprisingly, according to the first book of Samuel, he was chosen in part because he was good looking: “he was ruddy, and had beautiful[…]
(From a few years ago, but still very relevant…) Ed. Devotion to St. Joseph has deep roots in Canada.
