‘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.

IS ANY OF YOU SAD? ST BERNARD'S JUST ASKING
From St Bernard:
The name of Jesus is light when it is preached, it is food in meditation, it is balm and healing when it is invoked for aid ...
The name of Jesus is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, gladness in the heart. But it is also a remedy. Is any of you sad? Let Jesus come into the heart.
