 Prayer of St. Faustina

Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbours’ souls and come to their rescue.

Help me, O Lord, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbours’ needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.

Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbour, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.

Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbours and take upon myself the most difficult and toilsome tasks.

Help me, O Lord, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbour, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness.

Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbour.

May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me. Amen.

RECIPES FROM RITA HEIKENFELD

VEGETARIAN STROMBOLI

You can use just about any melting cheese you like, a total of about 8 oz (2 cups or so)

Ingredients:

About 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or purchased
Filling
4-5 oz Mozzarella cheese, shredded
4-5 oz smoked Gruyere cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 clove garlic/1 teaspoon (minced) or equivalent garlic powder
Spinach or other greens, couple handfuls, chopped (opt)
For the top
Olive oil
Bit of dried rosemary, minced (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425.
Roll dough on floured surface into 12-14” circle or 10×14” rectangle about 1/4” thick. No worries if measurements aren’t exact.
In big bowl, mix cheeses and herbs together.
Sprinkle cheese mixture over dough leaving a bit of a border.
Sprinkle spinach on.
Roll into a cylinder, starting at long end.
Tuck ends under roll securely. I pinch them shut. Place, seam side down, on parchment lined or sprayed baking sheet.
Brush with oil and bake golden brown, 25 minutes or so.
Cool a few minutes before slicing. Thick or thin slices – up to you.

SOPHISTICATED GRILLED CHEESE

I use sourdough for this.

Preparing the bread:

First, butter your bread: Spread room temperature butter onto one side of each bread slice, about a teaspoon or so per slice, depending upon the size of the bread. Be generous.

Filling: Mix together:

1 cup each Swiss or Gruyere and White or Yellow Cheddar, shredded
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon each: Dijon or yellow mustard and 1 chopped green onion or a generous tablespoon or so of red onion
Grill until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.

Good add in: Arugula leaves on top of the mixture before grilling.

Follow instructions for Sophisticated Grilled Cheese.

Serve with side of Thousand Island dressing and pickles.
