Morning Offering of St. Therese of Lisieux

O my God! I offer Thee all my actions of this day for the intentions and for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its Merciful Love.

O my God! I ask of Thee for myself and for those whom I hold dear, the grace to fulfill perfectly Thy Holy Will, to accept for love of Thee the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in heaven for all Eternity. Amen.

RECIPES FROM RITA: ANY FRUIT COBBLER

Double ingredients for a 9×13 pan.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup or so sugar plus a bit extra for sprinkling on top
Dash salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup or so milk (enough to make a smoother batter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups fresh fruit – your choice

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 and place rack on top (this helps brown the top)
Pour melted butter in 8×8 pan or 2 quart casserole.
Whisk together flour, sugar, salt.
Pour in milk and vanilla and whisk to a smooth batter.
Pour batter over butter. Don’t stir.
Add fruit, then sprinkle with extra sugar.
Bake until top is golden and cobbler bubbles, about 40 to 50 minutes or so. As cobbler bakes, fruit falls to the bottom and batter rises to the top, making a cobbler crust.
