Suffering With Joy

Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

July 25, 2010

Please join me and other Catholic bloggers for a peek at our favorite posts for the week.  Our hostess is RAnn at This That and the Other Thing. She always has interesting book reviews from the Catholic standpoint and other thoughtful posts as well.

Early this week I finished up some digital art pieces and wrote about the spiritual lessons I took from a subject or two.  If you want to relax and enjoy them visit these posts.  They’re all short.  I’m asking for votes on your favorite rendition of Pogo at Adventures in Art I. For a painting of a horse’s eye visit Adventures in Art II. I finally finished my Indian Paintbrush impressionist work.  It’s been on the back burner and at last it is done!

For a lovely picture of our asparagus bean flowers and what I’ve learned about raising these amazing veggies, visit The Asparagus Bean Surprise III – and if you know anything about those ugly beetles I mentioned, please tell me!

I wrote a short commentary on the Prayer from the 8th Sunday after Pentecost. Another inspiring treasure of the Church.

At Seeking God’s Will I wrote about a dear priest friend and how he died, plus a couple of paragraphs from the book he wrote, which is the subject of my spiritual reading these days.

If you love the psalms, I have a short reflection at Praying the Psalms – Psalm 28 with another painting by Moshe Tzvi HaLevi Berger.  It’s very interesting to consider the psalms through Jewish eyes.  Although the Orthodox Jews don’t accept Christ as the Messiah, I find I learn much about the Father from his paintings.  I just wish I could read Hebrew.

God bless all my readers and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
