The Weekly Five - Friday 2/19/10

The Weekly Five
 

The whole idea behind this new series is to introduce the folks on my blogroll to any and all who read this post. The plan is to feature 5 blogs per week and give a little overview...what they write about, that type of thing. Here is the third installment for your blogging interest. 

1) Catholic Faith Education The header for the blog Gilles Côté states "Reviews of resources available online for those involved in Catholic faith education."  This site is also useful to homeschoolers and those individuals simply interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith. 

2) Catholic Family Faith  This blog is hosted by Teresa Burns and is "designed to enhance the faith development of the Domestic church, the Catholic family." You can find alot of good articles and links here...well worth a frequent visit.

3) Catholic Fire This blog is hosted by Jean Heimann.  Jean has an exceptionally beautiful blog and the first thing you will notice on her blog...she is definitely Catholic and definitely pro-life. Jean's posts can also be seen on Facebook.  I visit this blog often and am always happy I did.

4) Catholic Mother's Online On the sidebar you will read this. "What is Catholic Mothers Online? This blog started as the home on the Web for the Catholic Mothers Online blog roll, which is community listing of Catholic bloggers who are mothers - whether that be in the present, in your plans in the future, through being a godmother, or those who are mothers at heart. Currently, we also publish guest articles of interest to Catholic mothers several times a month, in addition to posting new blog roll members."

This was one of the first blogs I visited and continue to do so frequently. You will notice on my sidebar I am a member of Catholic Mothers Online.

5) Catholic Online Catholic PRWire Catholic PRWire is a Catholic content news bureau providing the latest in Catholic news and information for general distribution at no cost to providers or contributors. At Catholic PRWire you are able to access breaking news from thousands of organizations around the globe as well as post your news. Catholic PRWire news releases are Free to use for all publications.

Well, that's it, for the third edition of ...The Weekly Five. 

God willing I will be back February 26, with the next post of this series.

The Weekly Five - Friday 2/5/10

The Weekly Five

1) Aussie Coffee Shop - Is hosted by Therese who blogs on faith and family, or just about anything she wants. She homeschools and has blog entries on cooking, sewing and family....all those neat home-body type of things. She has a very nice blog, well worth visiting.

2) Bible Tidbits - This blog contains biblical insights generally updated weekly by Daniel Egan. Much of what he writes comes from  A Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (New Testament), by Orchard - Dicarlo - Egan.

3) Catholic and Enjoying It! - Is home to the well known Catholic writer and speaker Mark Shea. His blog is sort of a 'mixed bag', with a lot of added fun and humor. He seems to write on most anything and pretty much says what he thinks. It's worth a frequent stop at his blog to see what he is up to. 

4) Catholic Answers LIVE - If you go here it sort of looks like the home page for Catholic Answers, but it updates daily in the reading list of the blogger dashboard. Also if you click on the internet link at this site it will take you to the Catholic Answers LIVE calendar at which point you can listen to live shows or download past shows.

5) Catholic Cuisine - Jessica's blog heading says "Recipes for Celebrating the Feasts and Seasons of the Liturgical Year." Jessica's blog not only contains creative and yummy sounding recipes, she also has a very beautiful blog. Jessica's creativity is obviously not confined to the kitchen; here you will also find a variety of beautiful snapshots and religious pictures, laid out in a very organized format. This is the place to go for those who are serious about really living the liturgical year in our daily lives.

Well, that's it, for this weeks edition of ...The Weekly Five.

God willing I will be back February 12, with the next post of this series.

The Weekly Five - Friday 1/15/10

The Weekly Five

Alright folks, I'm starting a new series and for lack of a more catchy name I'm calling it The Weekly Five; it should post either Thursday or Friday each week.

 I got this fabulous idea after reading a post called Is Silence Really Golden? at Adrienne's Corner. I was so amazed...I mean really flattered...that Adrienne had this to say about me:

"Patty at St. Monica's Tears is worth a daily visit for her inspirational posts"

She hasn't put me on her blogroll yet, nor is she following me, but in due time...

So the whole idea behind this new series is to introduce the folks on my blogroll to any and all who read this post. The plan is to feature 5 blogs per week and give a little overview...what they write about, that type of thing.

Since Adrienne was so gracious as to mention me on her blog, I will launch this whole series with none other than (drum roll) Adrienne's Corner!

1. Adrienne's Corner - Adrienne's blog header says "Still Catholic, Still Conservative" (yes - this I like). She has a daylilly nursery, is a Master Gardener and has a wonderful series called Twelve Steps for Catholics.  Much of what she blogs on is political yet with a nice dose of humor. Anyone following Adrienne's Corner is apt to be pleased with her writing.

2. A Catholic Mom in Hawaii - Ester  has a very nice inspirational Catholic blog, she is a homeschooler and has pets.  Once on Ester's site you will find she has alot of links to other Catholic resources.  She has also linked to this YouTube Video, For All The Saints, it is very graphic, so beware.  Once on Ester's site check out her profile, she has numerous blogs, some of which are team blogs. Very nice, well worth a frequent visit.

3. Abba's Little Girl - Is home to Patty Bonds.  Patty is a convert and avowed lay person. You may know her as the sister of the well known anti-Catholic (I'm having an Alzheimer's moment on his first name) last name White. I think I first met Patty on Marcus Grodi's Journey Home Show on EWTN.  Patty has an amazing conversion story, but the link on her blog doesn't work. Patty and I share a similar white martrydom from family members we dearly love. Patty blogs on faith and family; visitors to Patty's blog will be pleased.

4. Abba's Way - Is home to Mary a committed Catholic, a wife and mother. She is pro-life and loves praying the mercy chaplet and the rosary. Mary's blog here is poetry, I look at it periodically.  She also writes at A Beautiful Gate which I read more frequently, her writing here is very spiritual.

5. Behold Your Mother: A Bouquet of Love to Mary From Her Children - Heidi Saxton is the author of this blog. As the name says this is a beautiful tribute of love to the Blessed Mother. Heidi no longer writes on this blog, however; she can be found at Extraordinary Moms Network. Here she writes to offer encouragement and guidance for adoptive mothers and foster moms, etc.

Well, there you have it, the debut of...The Weekly Five.

Now that the debut post has been written, I will not be back to write the second post in this series for two weeks as I will be flying to Washington, D.C. to join the youth and young adults of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis at the march for Life. Please keep all of us in your prayers as I will you.

God will I will be back January 29, with the second post of this series.
