Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
Please do pray for Sister Maria Immaculata, of the Sisters of Our Lady Immaculate, one the alumni from Seat of Wisdom College, a young woman who is preparing to make her final profession on the upcoming solemnity of the Assumption. A great gift to God, and an inspiration to us all. And on the more[…]
The hypocrisy of the climate-change-save-the-Earth movement waxes rather warm itself these days, as it has since its incipience under Al Gore in those 90’s yore, when things seemed almost rational by comparison. Rex Murphy’s inimitable ironic prose eviscerates the millionaires and billionaires gathering for a ‘Google Summit’, private jets and private yachts gobbling up fossil[…]
Abraham’s dialogue with God in yesterday’s Sunday reading still speaks to us four millennia onwards. Indeed, the principle is timeless, that God’s justice – the natural recompense for sin – is not only tempered by His mercy, but by the goodness of some in the midst of great evil of many others. Shine like sparks[…]
A blessed Dominion Day to all our readers, on which we celebrate the official founding of ‘Canada’ as a (mostly) independent part of the British Commonwealth since the signing into effect of such in 1867. Although we gained further sovereignty, of a sort, with Pierre Trudeau’s 1982 Constitutional Act – along with his bland, but[…]

The properties of these strange cosmological objects were outlined more accurately in light of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity (1915),[…]
(In light of today’s feast of the Martyrs of Japan, what follows is a brief excerpt from Pope Saint John Paul II’s masterpiece – and too often neglected – encyclical Veritatis Splendor, the Splendour of Truth, on the principles of the moral life. Here the Holy Father meditates upon, and exalts, martyrdom for the sake[…]
In reference to my ‘snakes in paradise’, it turns out that the presence of said snake was prophesied, of sorts, by our own Paula Adamick in her insightful article on Ireland’s sad descent back in June, 2018. Re-reading her essay opens one’s eyes to how far the mighty in faith might fall, once they give[…]
Again and again the beauty of this Gospel touches our hearts: a beauty that is the splendour of truth. Again and again it astonishes us that God makes himself a child so that we may love him, so that we may dare to love him, and as a child trustingly lets himself be taken into[…]
