It is time to join up with the Sunday Snippets crowd again over at RAnn’s This, That & The Other Thing (mostly) book blog. This week, she asked us to answer: “Who is your favorite saint?”
I just discovered Maximilien Kolbe last year and his story just caught my heart. I’ll stretch it a bit and add that I also have tremendous respect for Mother Teresa and John Paul II, and stretch a bit farther to say that Thomas Merton is rocking my world lately. (Have you read New Seeds of Contemplation? If you haven’t…do so…NOW.)
My posts this week:
Words matter (A Primer on Disability Language. In particular this one is interesting because another mother of a person with special needs offered a very different outlook in the comments. So read the comments, too!
And if you want the kid stuff, and a picture of me with my new red hair, click here. But there’s nothing even remotely Catholic in that post.
I love Merton too. Read his journals.
Maximilian Kolbe has always fascinated me.
St. Maximilian is the best!
