‘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.

NEVER SO CLOSE TO JESUS
We are never so close to Jesus, so penetrated by him, transformed, deified,
and plunged into the divinity as at the moment of sacramental Communion: “with
him, all that we are is in God” (St Hilary).
- Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen, Divine Intimacy
