"In the life of the saints, we find many of them who didn't want to leave anything of themselves behind after their death, not the smallest souvenir, not the least bit of writing." ~ St. Therese of the Child Jesus
If you embrace all things in life as coming from the hands of God, and even embrace death to fulfill His holy will, assuredly you will die a saint. ~St. Alphonsus Liguori
Those from whom I receive the greatest consolations and encouragement are those whom I know to be dwelling in Paradise. ~St. Teresa of Avila
The saints were so completely dead to themselves that they cared very little whether others agreed with them or not. ~St. John Vianney
"I have always noticed that when I compared to myself to the saints, there is between them and me the same difference that exists between a mountain whose summit is lost in the clouds and the obscure grain of sand trampled underfoot by passers-by. Instead of becoming discouraged, I said to myself: God cannot inspire unrealizable desires....I must bear with myself such as I am with all my imperfections...." ~St. Therese of the Child Jesus
~Is your cross too heavy? Accept it and bear it with a grateful heart and for the love of Jesus, and always do His will...Surely then, you will be a saint...or at least saintly.~
"God is more pleased by one work, however small, done secretly and without the desire that it be known, than a thousand works done with the desire that others know of them." ~St. John of the Cross

Hi, I'm RAnn and I'd like to invite you to participate in Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. It is a successor to the Catholic Carnival run by Jay at Living Catholicism for many years. It is a way to share our best posts with the Catholic blogging community. Each week, I will create a Sunday Snippets post that includes Mr. Linky. If you want to participate, create a post on your blog highlighting your best post(s) of the week, and linking both to them and to the master post on my blog. Then, go to my blog and use Mr. Linky to link us to your post. This week's post is http://rannthisthat.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunday-snippets-catholic-carnival_09.html
I have been asked by people who post infrequently if they can just use Mr. Linky to link directly to their featured post, without creating a Sunday Snippets post. Since one purpose of Sunday Snippets is for bloggers to share their posts with those who do not regularly read their blog, and to share their readers with other bloggers, if you choose to do that, please include a link to Sunday Snippets in your post. If you click on Luuk's name on this week's post, you'll see someone who does that.
If you'd like a weekly reminder to participate, you may subscribe to our yahoogroup. A link is at the bottom of this week's post.
