‘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.

until we can face the fact that ‘the terrible loss of life’ you rightly denounce
starts where family starts, but so often also tragically ends: in the womb.
