 Effective Blog Title Ideas for a Catholic Blog: Finding Inspiration
from Catholic Articles, Books, Poems and the Classics (2 of 7)
Introduction
We continue searching for more sources of inspiration to discover effective
blog title ideas for a Catholic blog. This article is the second of a series
of seven articles on Blog Title Ideas. The focus of this second article is
to search for ideas from Catholic articles, books, poems and classic
spiritual writings.
Article titles from Catholic periodicals
If you subscribe to many of the available Catholic periodicals that are
published regularly, you may just find something that can inspire you to
formulate that special blog title you always wanted to create. "Being, Giving"
by Rica Bolipata-Santos is just a two-word title but speaks much to us on
an essential aspect of our being Christian. Just two simple words combined
can already be effective in communicating a Christian message in a Catholic
blog.
Another idea is "Prayer and Life" - the name of a section in the Catholic
periodical Review for Religious. This also is basically a two-word
title that combines two important elements of the Christian faith. A simple
title, but richly laden with meaning.
The two examples presented above are Christian themes of a general nature
and thus can provide a wide range of subtopics, categories, and tags for
a Catholic blog. More specific titles from which we can pattern our own
Catholic blog title after are: "Reclaiming Silence for Holiness" by Daniel
J. Heisey, and "Therese and the Mercy of God" by Carolyn Humphreys. The
words in the titles of these articles are simple, familiar words, but they
refer to a specific theme that can help us formulate a blog title idea
that is also specific and with a direct focus. We can substitute one
word from these original titles to come up with something of our own.
Inspiration from Catholic books
Another source of inspiration for a blog title is from the many Catholic
books published and recorded in the Library of Congress. One form of book
title is the combination of three related subjects. An example is "Poets,
Prophets, & Pragmatists" by Evelyn Woodward. The three words in the title
all begin with the same letter. This book inspired me to create a blog
(not online anymore) with the title "Books, Blogs & BTWs" - a blog on
Catholic books and blogs.
The three-word title is also used even if the first letter of the words
are different. Many book authors use this title pattern more often. An
example is "Celibacy, Prayer, and Friendship" by Christopher Kiesling.
From the two examples given above, we can formulate our own three-word
blog title idea that combines topics we are familiar and knowledgeable
about in terms of education and experience.
Phrases from poems as effective blog title ideas
If you check the breviary - the Book of Christian Prayer - there is a
section in the prayer book on Night Prayer. In this section of the
breviary, some poems are presented and used as alternatives to the
traditional hymns. As you survey these poems, some of its phrases
can be used as blog titles. They can be effective blog titles since
they evoke deep and intense movements in the heart. Examples of
these phrases in the poems are "God Alone Suffices" by St. Teresa
of Avila, "Abide With Me" by H.F. Lyte, and "Lead, Kindly Light"
by J.H. Newman.
Ideas from the classics of Catholic spirituality
The titles of some of our Catholic classic writings follows also a certain
pattern - a pattern that we can use as a model for coming up with
our own Catholic blog title. This title pattern has the elements
of a one-word subject followed by a prepositional phrase beginning
with "of". Three examples of these are: "The Ascent of Mount Carmel"
by St. John of the Cross, "The Story of a Soul" by St. Therese of
Lisieux, and "The Cloud of Unknowing" by a 13th-14th century mystic
and writer. Titles of this kind evoke mystical imagery and symbols,
which one can use for a blog that produces deep reflections and
meditations.
Summary
Given above are more sources from which we can be inspired with
to formulate our own Catholic blog title. There is certainly a lot
more sources to be researched from, aside from the samples given above.
But you can narrow your search by choosing your own favorite Catholic
periodicals, books, poems and the classics you know by heart. As we
formulate our own title, we can compose in a manner and style that
is in line or similar to the spirit and thought of the authors
of these Catholic sources.
