Suffering With Joy

Sunday Snippets – A Catholic Carnival

June 20, 2010

Sunday Snippets – a Catholic Carnival is hosted by RAnn over at This That and The Other Thing.  It’s a great way to meet other Catholic bloggers and get acquainted with their writing.  You are welcome to join in even if you don’t have a blog yourself. I have made some wonderful friends by participating in this meme nearly every weekend.

This week I was very busy developing a study guide for my friend Lynn’s book, Amazing Grays – Amazing Grace. There were many chapters and it took a lot of mental energy to plow through the job so she will have it ready for a homeschooling conference in Austin, Texas next weekend.  Thus, I didn’t get many posts written.

You may like to read about a great Doctor of the Church, St. Ephrem, who is called “Harp of the Holy Ghost”. His feast was this week.  I also included a YouTube performance of one of his Nativity poems set to music for the Syrian Orthodox liturgy by composer John Tavener.  St. Ephrem’s hymns and writings are also used in the Maronite rite of the Catholic Church.

In the post Praying the Psalms – Psalm 23 I wrote some truths that came to me while meditating on this famous psalm.

God bless you and have a beautiful, fruitful week.
