Suffering With Joy

Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

February 27, 2010

Welcome to Sunday Snippets where you can find posts on a variety of subjects from Catholic bloggers. Visit RAnn at This That and The Other Thing to discover them.

This week I posted a second prayer from the Divine Office of Prime I laid down on a painting I did from a beautiful APOD photo by the Hubble telescope.  You can see both the original and the painting with the prayer laid over it here. Hubble photos of space are stunningly beautiful.

If you are a history buff, you’ll be interested in my book review of The Last Train From Hiroshima, which I strongly recommend.  Deeply moving.

If you like conversion stories mixed with history, you’ll really like A Song for Nagasaki, another book I strongly recommend.  Someday Dr. Paul Takashi Nagai will probably be raised to the altars.  Really gripping and emotional. Have a box of tissues handy.

I posted a reflection on a paragraph from Father Romano Guardini’s book on prayer, my Lenten reading.

Lastly, if you are looking for a really convenient way to grow your own vegetables, especially if you have debilitating conditions, my post tells how my husband and I have done it.  Puttering in the yard is healthy and relaxing for some like us, and you will be surprised that you can have a green thumb after all like we did. Now is the time to be planning for delicious veggies and fruits without back pain and stiff joints to make it happen.
