Suffering With Joy

Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

May 31, 2010

Welcome to Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival where Catholic bloggers get together over at This That and The Other Thing to share posts with one another.  Yes, I’m a day late to the party but I’ve brought food! 

After Mass yesterday I planted flowers and when I got finished I was too tired to think.  So here’s my offering which will include the past two weeks since I was unable to participate last weekend.  Pick and choose whatever you would like to read and be sure to visit the other bloggers’ sites through This That where you will find much food for thought.

First, a couple of easy recipes for summer: Gluten-free Taco Salad and A Soup for Summer.

Now, a short reflection on Popes Benedict and John Paul stimulated by the April issue of Inside the Vatican: Benedict, the German Shepherd.

Attending the Vatican Splendors exhibit in St. Louis would not be complete without a short review for my readers.  Just click on the link in the previous sentence.

Two posts relate to Memorial Day: Polish Madonnas in Art and Poetry – really this would be good for home schooling moms for history, art and religion; and Praying the Psalms – Psalm 20.

Using Father Paschal Botz’s reflections from his book on the Psalms, I wrote a short reflection on the Introit psalm for this past week’s Ember Friday.  It’s titled, Runways to God after his book title.

Finally, a short book review on Inside the Bible by Father Kenneth Baker, S.J.  It’s a great little book to have around for Bible Study.
