Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival

It's that time again! During the week, I covered 1 Chronicles and about half of 2 Chronicles. These historical books retrace much of the ground covered in 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Kings.   The life of Saul is briefly covered, followed by the reigns of David and Solomon. On reflection, David and Moses are clearly the central figures of the Old Testament to this point. Not that others were not great or important (Abraham, Isaac, Noah, Joseph, Jacob, and Solomon, to name just a few). But David and Moses are clearly the key figures: Moses, the recipient of the Law, the embodiment of obedience and trust in God, and David, the paragon not of perfection, but of faithfulness of heart. The importance of faithfulness of heart is a central theme in this week's readings.

So, here you go (in reverse chronological order this week):

• 2 Chronicles 7-16
• 2 Chronicles 1-6
• 1 Chronicles 22-29
• 1 Chronicles 15-21
• 1 Chronicles 11-14
• 1 Chronicles 1-10

And, of course, here is the link to this week's Catholic carnival:
