Welcome to Sunday Snippets, a weekly gathering where Catholic bloggers share their favorite posts of the week.  Hosted by RAnn at This, That and The Other Thing, you’ll find many interesting takes on God, the world, and the Faith.

Today is Mother’s Day, the first one without my earthly mother who passed away March 24th of this year.  While I miss her, I am grateful that God was so merciful to take her quickly, and grateful that I can still celebrate Mother’s Day by thanking God for having given me such a good mother.  Of course, today is also Our Lady’s Mother’s Day, too, and I thank her for the attention she has given me as a child of God.

This week I wrote a post on The Meaning of the Rosary to give an idea of its history and place in Catholic devotion.  Other posts you might find interesting are: The Heart of Personal Holiness which features Bishop Slattery’s magnificent sermon from the celebration of Pope Benedict’s ascension to the chair of Peter; The Asparagus Bean Surprise where I tell about something God did to give me something better than I asked for; and Sabbath Moments where I reflect a little on St. Michael the Archangel’s nobility of spirit.

God bless all my readers.
