Prayer of Pope Clement XI

Lord, I believe in you: increase my faith.
I trust in you: strengthen my trust.
I love you: let me love you more and more.
I am sorry for my sins: deepen my sorrow.

I worship you as my first beginning,
I long for you as my last end,
I praise you as my constant helper,
And call on you as my loving protector.

Guide me by your wisdom,
Correct me with your justice,
Comfort me with your mercy,
Protect me with your power.

I offer you, Lord, my thoughts: to be fixed on you;
My words: to have you for their theme;
My actions: to reflect my love for you;
My sufferings: to be endured for your greater glory.

I want to do what you ask of me:
In the way you ask,
For as long as you ask,
Because you ask it.

Lord, enlighten my understanding,
Strengthen my will,
Purify my heart,
and make me holy.

Help me to repent of my past sins
And to resist temptation in the future.
Help me to rise above my human weaknesses
And to grow stronger as a Christian.

Let me love you, my Lord and my God,
And see myself as I really am:
A pilgrim in this world,
A Christian called to respect and love
All whose lives I touch,
Those under my authority,
My friends and my enemies.

Help me to conquer anger with gentleness,
Greed by generosity,
Apathy by fervor.
Help me to forget myself
And reach out toward others.

Make me prudent in planning,
Courageous in taking risks.
Make me patient in suffering, unassuming in prosperity.

Keep me, Lord, attentive at prayer,
Temperate in food and drink,
Diligent in my work,
Firm in my good intentions.

Let my conscience be clear,
My conduct without fault,
My speech blameless,
My life well-ordered.
Put me on guard against my human weaknesses.
Let me cherish your love for me,
Keep your law,
And come at last to your salvation.

Teach me to realize that this world is passing,
That my true future is the happiness of heaven,
That life on earth is short,
And the life to come eternal.

Help me to prepare for death
With a proper fear of judgment,
But a greater trust in your goodness.
Lead me safely through death
To the endless joy of heaven.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

RECIPES FROM RITA: GRAIN-FREE POTATO CRUST QUICHE

Ingredients

1-1/2 lbs baby “creamer” or Yukon gold potatoes (if using larger potatoes, peel and cut up)
1-1/2 tablespoons salt for boiling potatoes, plus ¼ tsp for sprinkling
8 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup onion, diced
1-1/2 cups cheese, shredded
1-1/2 cups half and half, or equal parts whole milk and heavy cream
5 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp smoked or regular paprika (optional but good)
Handful fresh greens, shredded (optional)
Chives, to garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400.
Add potatoes and enough water to cover. Add 1-1/2 tablespoons salt. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat and cook until tender, about 20-30 minutes, depending on size. Drain and set aside.
While potatoes cook, set a 10-inch cast iron pan (or a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pan) over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until bacon is crisp and leave fat in pan.
Remove bacon and set aside.
Add onions to fat and cook, stirring often, until golden. Remove onions to plate with bacon.
Add potatoes to skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt.
Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press firmly into bottom and about 1 inch up the sides, closing gaps to form a complete crust.
Whisk eggs. Add half and half, ½ tsp salt, pepper and paprika. Whisk to incorporate air into mixture.
Stir in cheese, onion, greens, and most of the chopped bacon (set some aside for garnish). Pour into crust.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until filling is set and cooked.
Let cool on rack 15 minutes. Garnish with bacon and parsley or chives, if desired.
