Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

March 6, 2010

Welcome to our regular Sunday Snippets where you will find a group of Catholic bloggers sharing their best of the week.  Some of us blog about a variety of subjects so you are sure to find something interesting.  Visit our virtual living room at This That and the Other Thing where RAnn is our hostess.  If you are a blogger, join us by creating a Sunday Snippets post and linking to RAnn’s site.  Sign in on Mr. Linkey to create a link to your site.

This week I posted quite a few items.  Archbishop Chaput of Denver gave a great talk to the Baptist University of Houston on the role of Christians in American public life.  You can learn a little history of Catholicism in America here.  I love this bishop!  The link is: http://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/2010/03/02/a-pernicious-construct/.

Monday I gave into my arty side and posted a digital painting with a Good Friday themed poem here: http://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/2010/03/01/marys-tears/.  I called it “Mary’s Tears”.

Lent for me is a yearly reminder of the need for reparation and forgiveness. I bring you Dr. Paul Takashi Nagai’s address to the parishioners on November 23, 1945 at the bishop’s Requiem Mass for those killed by the atomic bomb in Nagasaki.  Really, it’s awesome.  Find it here: http://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/2010/03/02/the-way-of-reparation/. I tried to find out if his cause for sainthood had been advanced but the internet search yielded nothing.  I’m not giving up, though. Maybe I’ll write to his Cathedral of Maria parish in Urakami.

We’re used to hearing of Eucharistic Miracles in many centuries past, but what about today?  Here’s a video about recent Eucharistic Miracles that show Jesus is still trying to get our attention.  It’s a great subject for Lent and very impressive.

God bless all my readers.
