Spanish Salad {salad Social} MISTY'S MORNINGS - May 16, 2012 Summertime is the perfect season for simple suppers that require little effort and leave you feeling satisfied yet light. Salads for dinner meet these requirements and one of our family favorites is my Ensalada Española or Spanish Salad. While living as an exchange student in Sevilla, Spain way back in 1994, I fell in love with the salad Pilar, my "Spanish mother", often made for dinner. Of course it tasted divine using Spanish olive oil and the ...http://www.mistysmornings.com/2012/05/spanish-salad-salad-social.html

This then is when "the Holy Spirit helps us in our incapacity ... and guides us to turn toward God".

Tuesday Tidbit: On Housekeeping BY SUN AND CANDLELIGHT - May 15, 2012 ... addressing a small handful of straightforward chores every day (say, kitchen and bathroom cleanup, and a daily sweep for surface clutter) and keeping larger chores few and simple and less frequent (dusting, vacuuming, or laundry, for example). I love reading such a positive, practical attitude toward housekeeping! Especially when it's expressed so eloquently. We all have to do it - keep house that is, in some form or another - so we might as well try to appreciate its ...http://dawnathome.typepad.com/by_sun_and_candlelight/2012/05/tuesday-tidbit-on-housekeeping.html

Columbia University Janitor Graduates With Honors NCR TODAY - May 14, 2012 ... 52-year-old janitor donned a cap and gown to graduate with a bachelor's degree in classics. As a Columbia employee, he didn't have to pay for the classes he took. His favorite subject was the Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca, the janitor said during a break from his work at Lerner Hall, the student union building he cleans. "I love Seneca's letters because they're written in the spirit in which I was educated in my family — not to look for fame and fortune, but to have a ...http://ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/columbia-university-janitor-graduates-honors
Sixth Sunday of Easter LIVING SCRIPTURE - May 12, 2012 ... for our sisters and brothers. Does this seem quite beyond our possibility? Sure it is! But we rely on divine strength and not our own. As Jesus is the source of our joy, so too is He the power to do what He asks. By remaining in Him through love, we are sure of His continuous presence and assistance. We are never alone but grafted securely onto Him. Today in my pause for silent contemplation, I will ask Our Lord for a more lively faith in His love and in His presence and for the desire and ...http://livingscripture.wordpress.com/2012/05/13/sixth-sunday-of-easter-4/

A good assumption would be that this was not an act of capriciousness, and that there was a very important reason that benefits each of his children in this world. Maybe the disobedience of Adam and Eve does play a part in this separation. For me the experience of God's presence comes directly from my interactions with people. Some of the most simple of interactions can be so significant. A smile, a friendly gesture or greeting. ...http://alphachange.blogspot.com/2012/05/where-is-god.html

According to immemorial tradition, St. Lambert died as a martyr in the defense of the sanctity of marriage, though this claim is disputed by some. Pepin of Heristal, the power behind the Merovingian throne, had lived for many years in faithful wedlock to his wife, Plectrude. Later, however, he had a very open affair with a woman named Alpais, to the scandal of the Merovingian court.

The Papal Visit, Louth and NE Lincolnshire ORA PRO NOBIS - May 10, 2012 Has the Pope's visit had an effect on the Louth & the N E Lincolnshire Catholic community? There is a simple answer to this question? Absolutely no effect what so ever! Due to 50 years of lost Catholic teaching the majority of NE Lincolnshire's Catholics live as secularised Catholics lacking motivation in our churches, and most dangerous of all lacking any motivation for evangelisation in our parishes. Quite simply, this has never been the Catholic way and is no way ...http://catholicgadfly.blogspot.com/2012/05/normal-0-microsoftinternetexplorer4.html

When I was young I used to think I was somehow indestructible and self-sufficient –that failure was not an option for me. Yet, I did fail, have failed, continue to fail, daily. And this is a lesson worth learning and worth learning from. And failure is a fact of life that we ALL know about in all sorts of ...http://fatherdylanjames.blogspot.com/2012/05/5th-sunday-of-easter-year-b-shaftesbury.html

Automated Translation: Why Not? A CATHOLIC CITIZEN IN AMERICA - May 5, 2012 ... "The Slippery are Very Crafty" It would be nice, if some automated gadget could transform the ideas I express in English into whatever language folks who reading this blog prefer. But I know enough about languages, translation, and communication theory to appreciate how difficult that task is.
