Answer 1

you need to use date() function (PHP DATE);

$current week = date("W");

//$current_week will output number of current week

Then u do post query, from wordpress 3.7 u can use "date_query" (WP_QUERY#Date_parameters);

query_posts(array(
'cat' => 'Blessing', // chosing category
'date_query' => array('week' => $current_week), // choosing date range
'posts_per_page' => '-1'// outputs all posts
));
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
//here goes your loop
endwhile;

Use it in your template file. And dont forget to put wp_reset_query(); after your query is done, and if you have loops after.

If u are using wordpress under 3.7, u can use this answer : Wordpress - get posts by date range, but here u need to get first and last date from current week (u can use this Finding First day of week via php [duplicate]). Have a nice day.
