St. Thomas More Prayer

Give me Your grace, good Lord, to set the world at nought, to set my mind fast upon You. And not to hang upon the blast of men’s mouths.

To be content to be solitary. Not to long for worldly company, little and little utterly to cast off the world, and rid my mind of all the business thereof. 

Gladly to be thinking of God, piteously to call for His help, to lean unto the comfort of God, busily to labor to love Him.

To have continually in mind the passion that Christ suffered for me; for His benefits incessantly to give Him thanks.

To think my most enemies my best friends, for the brethren of Joseph could never have done him so much good with their love and favor as they did him with their malice and hatred.

RECIPES FROM RITA: EASY REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES

For pickles, choose cucumbers with thinner skins, crisper flesh and smaller seed cavities. I would stay away from the big straight 8 type slicing cucumbers. They contain a lot of water and seeds, and may go soft in the brine.

Ingredients:
2 quart jars
1-1/4 cups distilled white vinegar (5% acidity)
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1- 2 tablespoons sugar or substitute – I used 2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups cold water
2 pounds or so unpeeled pickling, Persian, English or your favorite smallish cucumbers, cut into halves or spears or thick slices – enough to fill 2 quart jars
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
6 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes – optional
16 dill sprigs dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill weed (not seed) per jar
Optional: a few slices colored bell pepper

Instructions:
Over low heat, combine vinegar, salt and sugar in saucepan. Whisk until salt and sugar are dissolved. Don’t let it boil, just warm enough to dissolve the salt and sugar.
Whisk in cold water. Let cool to room temperature or refrigerate brine until ready to use.
Put cucumbers and peppers, if using, into 2 quart jars.
Dividing evenly, add coriander, garlic, mustard, red pepper flakes, dill, and brine into jars. If necessary, add a bit of cold water to the jars until brine covers cucumbers.
Cover and refrigerate about 24 hours, then serve. The pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month.
