Sunday Snippets - August 18, 2013

It's Sunday and time to join an interesting group of Catholic bloggers at RAnn's place - This That and The Other Thing. Take a look. You will be pleased that you did.

Bear with me as I offer a few tidbits about myself at RAnn’s suggestion,
 
I foolishly turned my back on God for far too many years. I became a lawyer before my Faith meant anything to me. Thanks to His never ending love for me and the persistence and loving concern of a friend and a most caring priest He placed in my life, my wife and I returned to our Catholic Faith.
 
God then gave me an unquenchable hunger to learn, live and share it more fully. These desires only increased after I became a Lay Dominican. What a different path my legal career and life took once God became the central part of it – extremely difficult at times; humbling and rewarding at others. With His grace, I pick myself up when I fall and start the journey anew.
 
Now that I am retired, I have tried to share my passion for the Eucharist, Eucharistic Adoration, the Truths of our Faith and zeal for the salvation of souls through my writing and speaking engagements.

Here are the two posts I published this week:

    Ellen:

    Been watching our 15 month old granddaughter and too exhausted to do much else.

    It was great to see you and your husband at the CWG Conference. Hope our paths cross again real soon.

    I can't wait for your next book. Please let me know when it is out. God's blessings on you, your family and Quiver Publishing!

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
