‘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.

ACCEPTING WHATEVER GOD SENDS
Essentially, salvation is for the humble, for those who recognizing their total dependence on God, accept from him whatever condition of prosperity or adversity he sends – comfort or poverty, happiness or trials – without being either elated or irritated.
- Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen, Divine Intimacy
