Sunday Snippets, A Catholic Carnival

Sunday Snippets is brought to you each week by RAnn at This, That and the Other Thing.

This week we once again heard from Z. Randall Stroope, in Langston Hugh's poem set to music, A Time of Silver Rain.  On Tuesday, we visited Rod Tryon's sidewalk trompe l'oeil, Koi Pond with Snake and Wednesday we looked at The Guppy  by Ogden Nash.

Saturday we looked at parts of Psalm 87 and how it relates to today's headlines in Egypt.  I also linked to a BBC story on Why Egypt Matters.

Keep praying, people!

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
