It's that time of the week, again--Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. We're Catholic bloggers who link up each week to share our posts. If you have a blog, you can join, too, right here.
This week's question is asking what my favorite prayer is. That depends. If in trouble, I just keep repeating, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus......" If I feel anxious, nervous, or worried, I have a mantra: "All is passing. God alone abiding." All day, when I think of it, I pray the Jesus prayer, "Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us sinners." After Communion, I pray, Anima Christi. Then of course, I pray extemporaneously, which means I just talk to God, all day long.
This week's posts are:
Monday -- The priest took off and didn't tell anyone. The church was all locked up--no sign or anything.
Tuesday -- I wrote a letter to the pope. No it wasn't about the priest who didn't tell his parishioners that he took the day off. But I had him in mind when I wrote the letter. My letter was about communication. The pope requested Sunday that he was declaring a Day of Prayer for Syria and the world, six days later. Well, how in the world can a priest like the one who forgets to tell the congregation that there's a bake sale going on after all the Masses, and takes off for the Labor Day Holiday, and forgets to tell anyone, or even tape a sign on the door saying "No Mass, today," how is he going to get the message about the day of prayer a few days after he comes back;never mind get any kind of service together to have a time of prayer?
Wednesday -- The vigil of my hero.
Thursday -- I posted twice. One was about how I think that it could be a blessing to be in prison. Another was a You Tube Video of the pope announcing his day of prayer and fasting for world peace.
Friday -- Friday is my TOPS meeting day, and I came from the meeting energized.
Saturday, the family celebrated my son's birthday. My baby turns 30, Sept. 8. He shares the birthday of Our Lady. So I didn't have time to do a separate post for today. I barely remembered that I signed up to pray for peace at 18:30. And I was glad that RAnn at This That and the Other Thing called the Sunday Snippets, to order.
