After a frenetically busy few months in which I seem to have been travelling to far flung corners of the continent of America, north and south, I’m pleased to have a relatively quiet November. In fact, I don’t leave the state of Florida for the entire month. I am, however, giving a few talks in the SW Florida area. If you live in the area, please try to attend one or more of these. I’d be delighted to see you!

About the Author: Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce is a Catholic author and biographer who has written about subjects as various as GK Chesterton, economics, and Shakespeare.
The Church overflows with the grace of the sacraments and the timeless beauty of its liturgy, and this grace and beauty pours into the hearts of great composers, great artists and great writers. There is nothing this side of heaven more beautiful than the Holy Mass of Christ’s Mystical Body, especially in its pure and unadulterated traditional form, and there is nothing more edifying than being present at such a Mass when a choir sings the thurible of sacred music, letting it rise to the suffering souls in purgatory in heavenly praise. In the Real Presence of such majestic beauty one can easily imagine the suffering souls being released from their purgatorial chains by the prayer and praise being offered on their behalf. One sees a vision of souls floating on clouds of musical incense to the Beatific Vision beyond all clouds. Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine: et lux perpetua leceat eis.
