Wednesday is traditionally a day dedicated to Saint Joseph, and to those who love and pray to the great patriarch. As Catholic tradition and spiritually recalls, it is a special day in which St Joseph obtains for us great graces by his powerful intercession, especially on this nineteenth, which is the day in March of[…]
On this day in 325, the first version of the Nicene Creed was adopted by the Council of that name, the first such ‘ecumenical’ gathering in the Church, with the Second Vatican Council being the 21st such. We will see if God wills any further Councils, and more on that, perhaps, anon. The key to[…]

Of three remarkable women, all Polish and devout Catholics, the most renowned mystic among them is undoubtedly Saint Faustina Kowalska, whose diary is deemed a gem of mystical literature. Less known is Wanda Boniszewska, currently undergoing the process of beatification. She joined the Congregation of Sisters of the Angels in 1925. A stigmatist, she experienced[…]
On this 13th of June, the universal Church rejoices with the Franciscan order for the feast of one of her famous sons, St Anthony of Padua, the day he was borne into heaven, his dies natalis. For it was on this day in 1231 that Brother Anthony came down from his tree house to eat[…]

For those who’d like a vivid and accurate overview of the ‘taking of Normandy’ this documentary is one of the best. For the re-conquering of France from the Nazis was not just the storming of the beaches on June 6th, but a long and brutal campaign through the French countryside against an implacable and determined[…]
An intriguing, and disconcerting, claim by Martin Pelletier, CIO, that the minimum income to qualify for a mortgage on an ‘average house’ in Canada is now $200,000. Keep in mind this is just to get your foot in the door of the real estate market. The average house price in Canada is $735,900. The average[…]
This is the memorial of the great Saint Boniface, whose life story is well recounted by Pope Benedict in an accompanying post, and whose own Christian Faith he owes to the evangelizing efforts of the great bishop back in the 8th century. Boniface himself was just past his 8th decade – an octogenarian – when[…]
