Hello, and welcome to Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. We are a group of Catholic bloggers who gather weekly to share our best posts with each other. To participate, go to your blog and create a post titled Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. In it, discuss and link to your posts for the week--whether they deal with theology, Catholic living or cute Catholic kids. I'm mostly a book blogger so my posts are generally book reviews, some Catholic, some not. Make sure that post links back here. Once you publish it, come back here and leave a link below.
We also have a yahoogroup; signing up for it will get you one weekly reminder to post. Click here to sign up.
Question of the week: Do you have any spiritual New Year's Resolutions?
My Answer: Yes. To pray more. I got a tablet for Christmas and downloaded the iBreviary app and so far have been praying it more often than before. I also signed up for a bunch of stuff to be sent to my email--Bible studies, Catechism passages and more. Sometime I read it, sometimes I don't but I know I read it more than I would if it wasn't showing up in my inbox.
No blog posts this week except a review of a mindless romance. However, I'll share a picture I took of my daughter after Mass on Christmas.
Beautiful picture of your daughter, RAnn!
ReplyDeleteThis week my son and I reviewed a Christian's children's book called "Biff and Becka's Stupendous Vacation."
As for the question of the week: I am not a fan of New Year's resolutions but one of my goals is to be more intentional in my prayer life and staying faithful to the times I have set aside for prayer.
I hope you all have a blessed feast of the Holy Family. :)
Thanks for hosting, RAnn! My spiritual resolution is to practice Lectio Divina every day, using a passage, or part of a passage, from that day's Mass readings. And I'm not going to wait until New Year's Day to begin. I'm starting tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteI have been working on being more meek.
Blessings to all, and pray on the feast of the Holy Family for the strengthening of the family.
I am also working on increasing my prayer time. I've got some books and might try one of Scott Hahn's Bible Study courses through the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. I would say this is a rather large gap in my education. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, RAnn, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Your daughter's a cutie, RAnn! I too want to increase my prayer time. This year my resolution was to make all Sundays and holy days ... I just fell short. So that's a continuing resolution, so to speak,
