‘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.

A princess and strange gods
Some mourner on telly tonight, during the media frenzy over the anniversary
of Princess Diana’s death, recalled saying at the time that “no one expected
this”.
I beg to differ. ‘I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange
gods before me.’
