Frankie Award: Vote for the year's best Catholic spirituality post





It's time to vote for the 2013 Frankie Award!

One of the things I love about Catholic Spirituality Blogs Network is the variety of blogs and posts. This contest introduced me to some new writers--some witty, some deep, and all promoting the Gospel  About half are not currently members of CSBN. I enjoyed reading all the entries. Now it's your turn.

Pleas vote for just one post--your favorite. I am going to post each one on Facebook and Twitter as well, to involve as many people as possible. That should also make them easy for you to share. I encourage you to do so.

Don't forget to invite you readers (and friends and family, and fan club) to visit this page and vote for you. Feel free to copy the badge above and link back here from your blog.

 Voting ends on December 3 at Midnight PST.

Here are the nominees, in the order that I received them. You might be surprised to see that someone else nominated you. Please be courteous enough to read as many of the posts as you can, even if you plan to vote for yourself or your friend! You have two weeks to do this--that's just one or two posts a day.

  4. Mr.Peterson your blog about New Years Day and a Blessed Mother was wonderful. it put Mary, the mother of Jesus into sexay Yurman form and made us realize that not only was she a young girl carrying Jesus, but she was suffering the loss of her child being murdered in front of her, she had to indoor the fact of being possibly stones for being pregnant without a husband, traveling across the desert nearly a hundred miles carrying a child with nose doctors no care no food or water, without her loved ones, what she endured was just unimaginable. Wonderful blog wonderful story
