Here is her post, as promised. Enjoy! Something I have been really wrestling with lately is the idea of some sort of religious vocation.

Girls Day Out - Blessings Abound PRINTS OF GRACE - June 10, 2013 God knows the deepest desires of our hearts and delights in granting them to show us His unconditional, limitless love.

Best Ignatian Songs: Blessed IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY - June 6, 2013 I love the song "Blessed" by the country singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams for its celebration of humility. It's about people–mostly obscure and suffering people–who bless us by simply being who they are. It's a kind of litany. It could be an examen–a recollection of the way God blesses us through the people in our lives. We were blessed by the minister Who practiced what he preached We were blessed by the poor man Who said that heaven ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dotMagis/~3/RCM7evafCtc/
Breviary Hymns--Fantastic Resource COFFEE AND CANTICLES - June 4, 2013 Periodically I receive questions and comments about the hymns that go with the Liturgy of the Hours. "Are the hymns optional? Why do the hymn selections vary from one breviary to another? What hymns appear in the official Roman breviary and where can find them? How do I find a tune for a hymn when only the words are given? What do the number sequences such as 78.78 or 87.87 mean?"

Say not: "I have sinned, yet what has befallen me?" for the LORD bides his time. Of forgiveness be not overconfident, adding sin upon sin. Say not: "Great is his mercy; my many sins he will forgive."

Babel CATHOLIC CHAPTER HOUSE BLOG - May 17, 2013 Written by: Niki Lau I have been listening to the new Mumford album Babel , and I have to say, my favorite song is Whispers in the Dark.
