Sunday Snippets - October 6, 2013


(Courtyard- Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center
 Norwood, OH)
It's almost Sunday and time to join an interesting group of Catholic bloggers at RAnn's place where you are sure to find something of value. Take a few minutes and visit!

This week's question: Have you tried the Liturgy of the Hours? As a Lay Dominican I  pray Morning (Lauds) Evening (Vespers) and Night (Compline) prayers. At the beginning, it was a bit confusing (and still is sometimes) but it has brought such a rhythm to my day I would be lost without it. The I-Breviary app simplifies the entire process - no turning pages and getting lost. Try it; you will like it!

Here are three of the five entries I posted this past week:
 
Monday Musings - Follow His Promptings!

The Eucharist and the Rosary - Our Spiritual Armament

Rosary Reflection - St. Pio Pietrelcina

    Michael,
    Do you know what I mean as "Godincidence?" Remember the cross at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. Do you remember where the inspiration for that cross came from. Read http://catholicexchange.com/in-the-land-of-crosses/

    Faith:

    Yes, I do. Thank you for the Catholic Exchange reference and the video you posted on your blog. Most especially thank you for pointing out this devotion to me while we were at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.
    You and God have gotten my attention. This is one devotion I intend to further explore.

    Mike

Good Friday Reflection

Image
This is not just another Friday. This is Good Friday. Will that fact make any difference in the way we live this day?  For far too many of us, today will likely pass much like any other Friday - a mad rush to get to the weekend with little thought of He Who made us and whose sacrificial and brutal death redeemed us. Where is our gratitude? Unforgettable (Source: Wikimedia Commons ) This the day so long foretold This the day of justice lacking This the day of man’s ingratitude This the day of cowardice and fear

Monday Musings - Eucharistic Revival

Image
  It should come as no surprise that the efforts of the Lay Dominicans of St. Joseph Province to help  promote Eucharistic Adoration are bearing fruit. Here is one Adoration Chapel where two copies of  their book, Godhead Here in Hiding Whom I Do Adore - Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoration ,  have found a home. The reflections in this book are stirring souls and touching hearts. Have you gotten your copy yet? Is there one in your Adoration Chapel?  Why not? May Father' Bruno's observations  encourage you to do so: “Hidden within these pages, the reader discovers the God who has chosen to dwell within the Tabernacle of the human heart. Each reflection is its own monstrance, bearing the shape of its unique human author, while manifesting our heavenly Father's Spirit of Truth. Here you will find thoughts and events that are ordinary and surprising, instructive and lyrical, worthy of both cross and crown. The common life of the early Dominicans was called ‘the holy
