Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival

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

This week's  Music Monday was the hymn, All Creatures of Our God and King followed by Art and Beauty Tuesday's beautiful icon of The Creation of the Animals.

I posted about the history of Shrove Tuesday. Ash Wedneday was a beautiful video with some wonderful symbolism regarding burning your sins.  Scripture Saturday talked about the wisdom of  Lent and the importance of Confession.

Special Lenten Features at the Well
During Lent, I will feature special Lenten Music Mondays with different musical Lenten meditations, as well as  Lenten Poetry Wednesdays featuring installments from the moving poem by Protopresbyter Gregory Petrov, written in a prison camp in 1940.  

I pray we all have a fruitful Lent.

Nice week of blogging. The picture of the pancakes with donuts on top looked sickenly sweet -- even to me. LOL

I know!! It was the only pic I could find with both pancakes and donuts in it--but who eats them together?!

Oh, Michele, I'm so sorry you are sick. My future daughter-in-law is getting over pnemonia too.

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
