A Fatima Prayer to the Trinity

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly, and I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference with which He Himself is offended. And, through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of poor sinners.

Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed

Silent and well-known carpenter in Nazareth, model of workers, by the work of your hands you gave your contribution to the work of the Creator, you earned your living, and you provided for the needs of the Holy Family. Intercede for all workers, in the difficulties of their daily lives especially for the unemployed, in their anxieties for tomorrow, so that through the guidance of God, the great Architect and Builder, they all may use their strength and talents to make visible God’s new creation, to offer a concrete service to society, and to earn wages worthy of their efforts. With confidence and trust we make this prayer thru Jesus. Amen.

RECIPES FROM RITA: CHEESE PIZZA IDEAS

SUNFLOWER PIZZA

Ingredients
1 can flaky biscuits, 10 oz.
Pizza sauce
Shake of garlic powder
Favorite pizza cheese – Italian blend is our favorite
Optional toppings: Chopped bell peppers, Mushrooms, Onions, Pepperoni, etc.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400.
Separate dough into 10 biscuits.
Place 1 biscuit in center of cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining biscuits in circle, edges slightly overlapping, around center biscuit. Gently press with your had into a 10” circle. This makes your sunflower.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
End with topping of more cheese. Bake 12-15 minutes. To serve, pull apart.

NO COOK CHICAGO STYLE PIZZA SAUCE

This is from a listener from a while ago. Really good!
Ingredients
6 oz tomato paste
14.5 oz can tomato sauce
Dried oregano – start with 1 tablespoon and go from there
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon each: garlic powder and onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
Black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon sugar (may not need – you decide if sauce tastes too “acidic”
Instructions
Whisk tomato paste and sauce together.
Add rest of the ingredients and whisk to combine. Let sit 10 minutes, then taste and adjust seasonings.

UPSIDE DOWN PIZZAS

Trying to sneak more vegetables into the little ones’ diets? Or how about those picky eaters in your family? When you put good vegetables into a pizza, somehow they become more appealing. Here’s a favorite family recipe. A good Lenten dish if you leave out the meat.

Ingredients
For each pizza you’ll need:
1 small nonstick skillet
1 pita bread, 8”
1 tablespoon each or to taste:
Pepperoni slices, quartered if desired (opt)
Diced bell pepper, onion or green onion, tomatoes or whatever!
Sliced mushrooms (opt)
Shake of Italian seasoning and garlic powder
1/4 cup or so favorite melting cheese
1 tablespoon Parmesan

Instructions
Put pepperoni slices in a 9” nonstick skillet. If not using meat, drizzle a little olive oil in the bottom of the pan.
Add everything except cheeses. Cook for a minute or two and then add cheese. Let cheese start to melt – this is the “glue” that holds the pizza together. Place a pita on top and press. Rotate back and forth and in a circular motion to combine ingredients. Careful here – keep hands on top of pita.

Invert a flat plate over pan. Holding pan and plate firmly together, flip pizza onto plate. Top with Parmesan.
