Prayer to St. Carlo Acutis
St. Carlo Acutis, You knew the power of technology and used it to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ.
You also knew the dangers of technology and were intentional in your efforts to guard your heart against them.
You used the gifts you had in this world to bless others through radical charity, through seeing Christ in the face of those ignored by society, through the witness of friendship, and through your natural aptitudes with technology.
In our world so broken by abuses of technology and which so often ignores or attacks human dignity, please intercede for us to God the Father so we may see the human dignity of everyone we encounter and ask for guidance from the Lord whenever we may be tempted to violate that dignity in our online interactions.
St. Carlo Acutis, pray that we may treat our ever-evolving connections with developing technology as an opportunity to see the grace of God at work, even in the complexities of our modern world. Amen.

RECIPES FROM RITA: LEMON BARBECUED MINI MEATLOAVES
From friend and colleague, Carol Tabone who first made this in a cooking class.
Ingredients and Instructions meatloaves
Mix together very gently:
1-1/2 pounds ground chuck
1/2 cup of toasted bread crumbs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 to 1/3 cup onion, minced
1 large egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
Ingredients and instructions Barbecue Sauce
Whisk together:
2 cups catsup
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
6 thin slices lemon to put on top of loaves (optional but nice)
Instructions for Roasting
Preheat oven to 350.
Shape meatloaf mixture into 6 loaves, like mini footballs. Place on sprayed baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven.
Lay lemon slices on top of each loaf if using, then cover each generously.
You’ll use about half the sauce.
Put back in oven and continue to bake until done – thermometer will register 155-160. This takes about 40 minutes, but start checking after 30 minutes.
To serve: Warm remaining sauce and pass.
