A Prayer for Priests

Gracious and loving God, we thank your for the gift of our priests.
Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.
Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.

Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest. Amen.

*****

Dr. Jared Ortiz, co-author of The Nicene Creed

A Prayer of St. Thomas More

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.

Prayer to St. Joseph by Pope Pius X

Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations; to gratefully and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I have received from God, to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work; above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render of time lost, talents unused, good not done, and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity. Amen.

RECIPES FROM RITA: SLOW COOKER MAC AND CHEESE
1 pound elbow macaroni or your favorite short pasta.
4 cups/1 pound sharp cheddar cheese 
2-1/2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream (or sub in all milk)
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons)  butter
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – optional but good – we like it 
To give it a kick – couple shakes cayenne powder or flakes. I usually add this after macaroni & cheese has finished cooking, so that I can scoop out some macaroni & cheese before adding it for those who don’t like heat.

Instructions
Cook macaroni per package instructions for al dente BUT make sure not to overcook the pasta, as it will cook more once placed in the slow cooker.
Spray slow cooker with cooking spray or use a cooking bag. Turn on low and set timer for 2-1/2 hours then add the macaroni to the cooker.
Add milk and cream to macaroni and stir to combine.
Reserve 1-1/2 cups cheese for the last part of the recipe. Add the remaining cheese (2-1/2 cups)  to cooker and stir.
Add butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the macaroni and stir to combine.
Place the lid on cooker and continue to cook for two hours on low, stirring occasionally.
After the 2 hour mark, add the reserved cheese over the top of the macaroni and place the lid back on the slow cooker.
Cook the mac and cheese for an additional 15 minutes or so just until the cheese has melted. Now stir in red pepper.
Keep on warm setting until ready to serve.

Tips:

Can I use different cheese to make the recipe?

American cheese and Velveeta cheese. They melt really well, and you end up with a very creamy cheese sauce.

For a spicier flavor, use pepper jack cheese.

You can also add a little parmesan cheese (or Romano) to give mac and cheese a little boost of flavor.

Can I add other ingredients to the mac and cheese?

How about broccoli or peas? Cook them before adding at the last minute.
