Sunday Snippets - October 27, 2013


(St. Vincent Ferrer Parish, NYC)
It's Sunday (almost) and time to join an interesting group of Catholic bloggers at RAnn's place where you are sure to find something that will touch your heart and stir your soul. Take a few minutes and visit!

This week's question: my favorite saint. St. Catherine of Siena.  Read her biography, The Life of St. Catherine of Siena written by her confessor, Blessed Raymond of Capua and The Dialogue, a spiritual classic, and you will love her too.

I share four posts from my blog this week:

O my God, who shall be able to comprehend?” St. John Vianney

Monday Musings - Made In His Image

We are often prone to despair and self-pity. We are quick to abandon fundamental Truths when confronted with adversity.  We forget that we are the adopted children of God and think that He has abandoned us.  We don't  believe that He has a plan for our lives or that with Him all things are possible.  We refuse to believe  everything that God allows in our lives is intended to  assure our eternal salvation. So we avoid Him at all costs and go to  people, places and activities that can never make us truly happy.

We must look into the cracked windows of our souls so that we can see ourselves as God sees us - as unique, magnificent treasures  made in His image . Once we open our eyes to this Truth, ...
