A very joyful Fourth Sunday of Easter to all our readers, Good Shepherd Sunday, dedicated to prayer for vocations, especially to the priesthood, that men may follow Christ, and ‘lay down their life for the sheep’, who are all too often scattered and without a shepherd, or led by shepherds who lead them astray. We[…]
The harvest is plentiful, the labourers are few – – Commemoration of National Volunteer Week is bitter-sweet at Radio Maria Canada TORONTO, April 12, 2018 – Radio Maria Canada (Radio Maria) celebrates today the immeasurable contributions of its 29 volunteers, but issues a plea to listeners and other Canadian Catholics for help.

President Trump has launched a retaliatory missile attack on Syria, in response to Bashar al Assad supposedly ‘gassing’ his own people, in his own attempt to crush the ‘rebel’ forces, connected inextricably with radical elements of Islam, dragging out a war that is, or should be, already over, and that no one really wants. Even[…]
We celebrate Saint Stanislaus today (+ April 11, 1079), bishop and martyr, put to death by his own king, Boleslaus, for rebuking the monarch’s ‘immoral life’.

A blessed and joyous Easter to all our readers! Christus surrexit vere, alleluia! I will have an article soon on the resurrection, but first, and in contrast to the joy of this octave of Sundays, to the continuing saga of the sad state of our government: At least one Liberal MPP, a certain smiling, happy[…]
A blessed and joyful Holy Saturday to all our readers, a day in which all the world is ‘at rest’, with Christ, our God, asleep in the tomb, awaiting His definitive resurrection, and triumph over death, once and for all. Paula Adamick has an insightful piece on the ‘incorruptibles’, no, not a new Marvel superhero[…]
Another milestone for progressive Canada: We will soon hit the trillion dollar debt mark, not quite up to the 20 trillion south of the border, but we’re proportionately catching up. Like the U.S., interest payments alone are playing havoc, and there seems no end in sight, as the Liberals, NDP, well, let’s just say all[…]
From the files of police who do their duty, unlike the police in the recent Florida massacre, who did less than their duty, the officer who took the place of the female hostage in the recent terrorist attack in southern France, Arnaud Beltrame, is to be commended. As the all-too familiar story goes, yet-another ‘radicalized’[…]
