Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
On Friday 2 February, we celebrated the feast of the Presentation of Our Lord. In the presentation of Jesus at the temple to the Father the Church also saw the role and mission of consecrated persons who give their lives to God. In his message for the first world Day for Consecrated Life, Pope Saint[…]
I had no idea this proposed legislation even existed, until now. Bill C-3 is in its third reading, and all it needs is royal assent from a pliant ‘king’ to become the law of the land, as Canada continues its descent into the depths of the culture of death, under Trudeau and his Libranos. Here[…]
As our own Messieurs Trudeau and Guilbeault plan to ‘phase out’ gas-powered vehicles by 2030 – bonnes chances with that, and which really means that only the ‘elite’ will have cars – why does the climate-zealot, no-carbon munchkin Ms. Thurnberg need nine of them, while so many of can scarcely find one? Why does Greta[…]
Today, the last day of January, the Church is celebrating the feast of Saint John Bosco. In his preface to the book Evangelii gaudium con Don Bosco, which is a collection of essays by members of Salesian Order which Saint John Bosco founded, Pope Francis described Don Bosco’s message as “revolutionary”, particularly at a time where[…]
Saint Gilda of Rome (+226) was an early Roman martyr, the orphaned daughter of an ex-consul, a faithful consecrated virgin who perished during the persecution of Severus Alexander. She was thrown to the wild beasts, but they would not touch her, and when they tried to burn her, the flames did not harm her, and[…]
Amongst the Oratorians – to whom I owe more than I could ever give back – Blessed Sebastian Valfrè is celebrated on this day, the anniversary of his death in 1710. I’m a bit short on time to write a bio – but may do so soon, as I have a devotion to this particular[…]
Some readers may have come across an opinion piece in the Catholic Register, the diocesan newspaper of the Toronto Archdiocese, written by one of our students, Rory McKay here at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom. For the record, his opinion does not necessarily reflect that of the College, just as my own do not, in[…]
A thousand years is like a day. 2 Peter 3:8 Recently I had the pleasure of listening to Fr Celso Benedictine, enlightening us with one of his weekly presentations about Living in the Divine Will. I always enjoy his talks because they bring so much hope, trust and joy amid the darkness hovering[…]
The celebration of the feast of St Francis de Sales brought into my heart the profound words Pope Benedict XVI spoke about this great saint in his catechesis given on March 2, 2011, at Paul VI’s Audience Hall at the Vatican. In that occasion Pope Benedict XVI said: St Francis de Sales is an exemplary witness[…]
Dan Hitchens has just composed one of the most insightful pieces on transgenderism I’ve come across, using Saint Joan of Arc as a metaphor, in contradistinction to the modern media, who have adopted her as a kind of confused, dysphoric cross-dressing saint of their own religion. (I had no idea that Louise Ciccone, who scandalously[…]
