Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival
March 21, 2010
Welcome to Sunday Snippets hosted at This That and The Other Thing. We bloggers post our favorites of the week and link to RAnn where we all gather to read what others have to share. Join us, please. If you don’t have a blog, visit anyway and leave comments. We all like to get feedback on our work!
This week I continued to post a Station of the Cross each day. You can find all of them by scrolling through the blog, but here is the one from Monday – Simon of Cyrene is Forced to Take Up the Cross. I am posting these stations because they are no longer available in the beautiful and poetic English of the church of my youth.
Archbishop Chaput wrote a letter to his diocese on the health bill which I posted with highlights and a few comments.
A reflection on suffering and holiness is here. Sometimes we need reminders that God is beside us always, even during the worst of times.
My post on Sabbath Moments is about a stunningly beautiful Madonna and Child I ran across several years ago. In the midst of mental and emotional turmoil over the “death care” bill this Friday I fled to Our Lady. I was able to track down a certain amount of information on this work, but I need readers to ask Polish friends or art specialist friends to visit the blog with information on an interpretation of the image. As I searched I found modern Polish artists who have painted some of the same unique elements which are in the painting I found from 1450. It must be part of the Polish Catholic tradition or Eastern European Catholic tradition. Let’s get some Poles involved here to help me!

That was a lovely painting of the Madonna and Child. Thanks for sharing it.
And I don’t blame you for turning to the Blessed Mother for solace after all the hubbub over the health care reform bill… You may be right in calling it the “death care” bill. God help us!
