Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds, and it will not rest until it reaches its goal (Sir. 35:17). ⧾ The parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee which is well known to us, helps us to understand that repentance is truly transformative; and that when repentance is coupled with authentic prayer, we[…]
WE CANADIANS pride ourselves on being tolerant, which, paradoxically, means that we are extremely intolerant. To demonstrate our intolerance, let me recite three words that represent attitudes that are universally and harshly condemned: racist, homophobic, sexist. Anyone foolish enough publicly to espouse one or other of these would be pilloried, whipped through the streets of[…]
What is one to say? The results speak for themselves, with the east more or less going ‘liberal’, the Prairies and Alberta going ‘conservative’, and BC going who knows where. I think it was Saint Augustine who quipped that we get the bishops we deserve, which may be extended, for the same goes for our[…]
‘And yet, when the Son of man returns will he find faith on earth?’ (Lk. 18:8). ⧾ Last Sunday, the anniversary of the last apparition of Our Lady at Fatima in Portugal, in our meditation we dwelt on some of the miraculous events associated with the miracle of the sun and the prophecies of Our[…]
A blessed and glorious Sunday to all our readers… Today’s Gospel speaks of Christ’s ‘elect’ – that is, His chosen, which in the end means those who choose Him and His truth – whose prayers and cries He will most certainly hear, in the time when His answer will be of most effect. Hence, the[…]
When the blackface scandal first broke, CTV political commentator Don Martin said that Justin Trudeau told him as a backbench MP that he would never run as PM because he had too many secrets.

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN, whose life spanned most of the nineteenth century—1801-90—was and remains a fascinating character. Much of his charm is found in his remarkable talent for friendship, and his great influence on both Protestants and Catholics arose from his ability to collect around him talented men who influenced his thinking, and vice versa. It’s[…]
Interesting, is it not, how – as the climate change hoax continues to advance itself with a wall of lies and half truths – central to its deceits is the absurd notion that it is Man, not God, who holds mastery over this planet and its weather patterns! Interesting too that amidst all the hysteria,[…]
(A blessed Sunday to all our readers, which would have been the feast of the Archangels – Michael, Gabriel and Raphael – or Michaelmas in the usus antiquior – we are publishing this piece from a writer, John Tuttle, new to these pages. As well, we are approaching the memorial of the seven billion or[…]
And the Lord spoke all these words: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven[…]
