‘Canto fermo’ is the term for an existing melody used as the basis for a new composition. The prose and poetry of mystics like John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein – all informed by the Gospel – is my ‘melody’. The ‘new composition’ is this blog and my indie novel ‘The Age for Love’. To buy my book go to amazon.com or smashwords.com and download to your kindle, iPad, phone or any reading device.

I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T SPARE THE TIME (My response to the Wgtn Catholic Archdiocesan Youth's invitation to join a picnic at Parliament)
Everyone's aware of inequality and poverty. The media cover these issues because they're politically correct. If you were raising awareness of the holocaust of aborted babies, which is discussed in the media about as much as the German press during the Third Reich discussed the Jewish holocaust, I'd be with you. But as things are, I'm sorry but I can't spare the time.
