‘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.

builders start by ensuring every resident has access to basic necessities of
life’, he gets it nearly right. To be exactly right he needs to say great
nations start by ensuring access to life itself, especially for residents of the
nation’s wombs.
