Those of you be allowing my Lenten bread fast (and even those who aren’t), peep this:

Sourdough sandwich bread! Super easy to make and I can’t wait to try it. But it has to cool first. Boo!

I don’t typically share videos I have not full watched yet but for Dr. Mazza. I’ll make an exception. Let’s enjoy this one together!

Pray-ers? Prayer warriors? No matter.

I humbly ask for prayers for my own family of homeschoolers. March is the time of year when things either pick up and get done or completely fall apart and get shoved off to the summer which really means next year.

In your kindness, pleas offer a prayer or two (non-homeschooler prayers are also very much appreciated too) for my intentions. The finish line is in sight for my two angels but we could use a boost in the form of extra actual graces.

St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!

Anyone able to verify this?

From the daily mediations previously linked:

“Speaking of Paradise, St. Bernard says: O man, if you wish to understand the blessings of Heaven, know that in that happy country there is nothing which you would not desire and everything that you would desire. Although there are some things here below which are agreeable to the senses, how many more are there which only torment us? If the light of day is pleasant, the darkness of night is disagreeable: if the spring and the autumn cheer us, the cold of winter and the heat of summer are painful. In addition, we have to endure the pains of sickness, the persecution of men, and the inconveniences of poverty; we must submit to interior troubles, to fears, to temptations of the devil, doubts of conscience, and to the uncertainty of eternal salvation.

“But, after entering into Paradise, the blessed shall have no more sorrows. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And death shall be no more, nor mourning, nor crying, nor sorrow shall be any more, for the former things are passed away. And he that sat on the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new.” (Apoc. xxi. 4)

I could write on this.

Or I could direct you to someone else who already did.
