‘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.

ROSEMARY MCLEOD'S HARPIES AND HARRIDANS (Letter to Dom Post, May 22)
If Rosemary McLeod (She-Devils quash myth that women are naturally
kind, May 22) dwelt less on harpies and harridans, and more on women like
her own grandmother whom she’s mentioned in past columns as an inspiration,
she’d be a happier woman herself. She might even realise that for women of faith
like her grandmother, nothing is beyond forgiveness.
