Below are some of the important questions parents, and all voters of good will, should be asking the candidates in the present Ontario provincial election. The mainstream media won't do it. So, it's left to parents. In the recent debate among the main party leaders, (the Ontario party and the New Blue party were not even allowed to participate), these issues were never discussed.  

One thing is certain: Christian principles are under attack not just in Ontario but in Canada and the rest of the Western world. The Christian life is being rejected by the main political parties. The battle is left to believers to speak out and defend the Christian view. 

In a true democracy, Doug Ford would be made to answer why he broke his promise to repeal the 2015 radical sex-curriculum implemented in public schools. He did this when he was first elected in 2018. We thank CitizenGo for the Election Questionnaire. Please do spread the word.

Second Week of Lent, Monday: Lent and Easter with the Church Fathers. 

Dorotheus of Gaza, Directions on the Spiritual Life, XV, 160 

Introduction  

Hope entered the world with the incarnation of Christ: that hope which "does not disappoint" (Rm 5:5), which turns the gravest sin into an occasion for repentance and redemption, which gives us the daily and constant opportunity for salvation in the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist, and which during Lent yearly renews our desire to participate anew in the Resurrection so that we can celebrate in the Father's house.

Second Week of Lent, Sunday: Lent and Easter with the Church Fathers.

Hermas, The Shepherd, Similitude V

Introduction

Fasting can be easy, but sticking your neck out in solidarity and taking time away from other things are definitely the proving grounds. Certainly not everyone can go on missions or volunteer projects, but all of us know at least one person who might need care, attention, a ready smile and a kind word.

St. John Chrysostom, Discourse II: Concerning Lazarus  

Introduction 

Math has never been my favourite subject, and I have always struggled to understand it, many times without success.With Christ, all of the diagrams and formulas go out the window, and I am happily confused.

First Week of Lent, Friday, March 14: Lent and Easter with the Church Fathers. 

St. Diadochus of Photike, A Hundred Chapters on Spiritual Perfection, 42

Introduction

Lent offers us the occasion t gauge on the wholeness of the human person,  giving us the occasion to integrate body and soul through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

The arrogant PM Justin Trudeau has resigned, and the new leader Mark Carney is yet to become the new prime minister. Trudeau has shut down Parliament for over 2 months, but this has not stopped the Liberals from spending (wasting) tax dollars Canada doesn’t have.

Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, just announced $272.1 million in new funding for 14 projects in Bangladesh and the Indo-Pacific region.

Mark Carney is the new Liberal Party leader to replace Justin Trudeau. He will be sworn in as PM tomorrow. Carney made it clear in his victory speech that the enemy of Canada is Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and President Donald Trump. It took the Trump threat of tariffs for the Liberal party to suddenly discover the value of defending Canada. It was Trudeau who claimed Canada was a post-nation state with no core values, and that he admired China.

Theophilus of Alexandra, Easter Letter   

Introduction

Preparing for Easter means preparing for a great feast, the most important one of the liturgical year. Joy becomes the adornment of our hearts, which reach out toward the divine while resting on earth. Good habits must be ready to go for the feast.

The Liberal Party has elected Mark Carney as their new leader to replace PM Justin Trudeau who resigned. In his speech after his victory, Carney had all good things to say about the Liberal party and the outgoing prime minister. It was all Liberal cheers, smiles and applause. Carney who has never been elected to any political position could now become Canada's prime minister.

Carney said he will follow the example set by Trudeau to unite Canada and fight against the American tariffs.

St. Leo the Great, Sermon, 21, 3  

Introduction

It's nice to feel loved in spite of ourselves and in spite of everything. God loves us above all things, and his embrace is all-encompassing. Feeling loved stirs up love; it is an awareness that God calls each of us to recognize the uniqueness of every person, to rediscover our dignity, and to acknowledge the need for daily conversion.

St. Basil the Great, Homily on Fasting, 8 

Introduction

It's the period of Lent and the time of preparation for the central even of Christianity: Easter! Yes, preparation as when preparing for an important party or meeting.

1 Timothy 2:1-5
1 Timothy 2:1-5
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
