Suffering With Joy

Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

February 6, 2010

Welcome to Sunday Snippets where Catholic bloggers can read each other’s favorite posts for the week.  All are welcome.  If you’re not a blogger but you want to see what others have to say, click on the Sunday Snippets and go visit RAnn, our great hostess, where you’ll find a bit about the partying in New Orleans this weekend and see links to other Catholic blogs.

This week I opened a custom Amazon store where you’ll find my hand-picked recommendations on books, CDs and DVDs about Our Lady, the saints, and the Catholic faith.  If you shop online, please visit my store.  You can not only buy my recommendations, but you can search for anything you need from Amazon.  Shopping from here helps me keep this site going.  You can find the store tab at the top of the page or click on the custom shop on the sidebar.

If you love art or photography, you like my post on beauty which has a link to an absolutely fantastic Japanese photographer.  I’ve been relaxing by looking at his work.  Yes, I am a Japanophile.  Can’t help it.  A Korean lady told me this week that I have an Asian mind.  Don’t know about that but I appreciated the compliment.

If you want to see some great photos of hoar frost, I posted the work hubby and I did when God blessed us with a stunning display this week.

Forgiveness is a tough virtue to acquire and St. Jane of Valois was an expert.  If you’re a Catholic trivia nut, there’s some about St. Jane and the Angelus here.

Do you like Carthusians or want to see a great spiritual website? I found one thanks to an FSSP priest.  Secret Harbor is really beautiful and I put links to some fantastic frescos of Carthusian founder Saint Bruno that I discovered when I was looking for a picture of him.  It was a great trip to Italy thanks to the web.

Lastly, I posted a couple of articles at Helium.

1.  Reflections: seeing God with a pure heart

2.  Is there really such a thing as purgatory?

It’s been a busy week.  Please keep me in your prayers as I move towards some personal goals. And for Super Bowl fans, have a good time.
