Contrariwise

This week’s Catholic Carnival is up at TomReagan.com. Those of you with particularly good memories may remember that he wrote the Rosary series I love so much. I was excited that he was hosting the carnival the first week I submitted a post for inclusion.

Highlights of this edition:

• Owen (host of the Catholic Catechism Dialogue Blog, a concept I like but didn’t latch onto) describes his conversion through poetry for a friend. It may be the best conversion story I’ve ever read, and I love reading conversion stories.
• A Penitent Blogger comments on Monday’s Mass readings. I read them aloud to myself every day for lectoring practice and because I think they’re experienced best when read aloud. I was surprised to see an entire chapter as a reading, but the story of Jeremiah versus Hananiah really can’t be split into parts.
• Louis of A Catholic Hart muses on God’s infinite love for us. It really is impossible to imagine how anyone could keep loving us despite all the terrible things we do.
