Sunday Snippets: A Catholic Carnival #1

Sunday Snippets is a group of us who get together on a weekly basis (via the internet of course!) and post an entry with links to other posts we have made during the week. This is my contribution for the week - though I am only new, I have a few extra ones thrown in there!

First I'd like to take you all back to mid-December with a few short, quotation-like posts. I found these in the monthly Wodonga Catholic Parish magazine "Parish Talk".

"Isn't it strange?" focuses on how we easily give at times, but how big or hard it seems when it comes to God and religion.

The following reflections on the person of Jesus make us more aware of what an extraordinary person He was and is. Some of the lines that follow are original, the majority belonging to those writers we fondly recall as "Author Unknown", though where possible, the author has been identified.

Though I now live in Albury, NSW, I am still very much attached to the Wodonga Parish (which is only a 5min drive yet different state and diocese!) so I closely followed the revamp of their Mother Church from when it was near completion to attending the very first service held in the new church!

I have also talked about John Safran's latest show "Race Relations" in which the final episode he had himself crucified in the Phillipines.

Though a week or so late, an email I received about "Keeping Christ in Christmas".

Perhaps one of the most controversial topic at the moment - gay-marriage - here's my view on it from both a Catholic and homosexual perspective.

This following article came from "Together" the free monthly newspaper in the Diocese of Wagga Wagga, talking about the struggles he faces when one comes in the buy contaceptives.

Finally, to close off, I leave you this entry about my last confession experience!
