Sunday (Well, Monday) Snippets

It’s been a couple of weeks since I chimed in over at the gathering of Catholic bloggers aka Sunday Snippets, A Catholic Carnival…but I figure Father’s Day would be a good time to reconnect.

I DO cherish the loving heart that Christ reveals to me, however — even more, today, as I look back on a very special Father’s Day weekend, which included the ordination of our eldest son.  Here’s are some highlights of that happy event:
