Prayer to St. Rocco

Heavenly Father, we gather in prayer
to seek Your blessing on our sick in
mind, body or spirit.

We thank You for blessings You
have bestowed upon us in
the past.

In order for our efforts to bear fruit,
we need Your children to be fire up
with the zeal of St. Rocco.

Bless and guide us so that all our
undertakings will reflect complete
trust in You, our Creator.

At this Mass and service, we pray
especially for the healing of our
brothers and sisters who are
suffering physical, emotional,
and psychological pain, and
for the spiritual healing of each
one of us.

Help us to follow St. Rocco as a model
of patience and charity.

We ask Your blessings on all that
we do in the name of Jesus Christ,
our Savior.

Impossible Pie

This weekend's bulletin at St. Mary's had a new addition. On the bottom of page 4 was a recipe called Impossible Pie. Intriguing huh? I've never seen a recipe in a bulletin, before. And what's impossible about it?

Well, since I had all the ingredients (including the coconut!)I made it:
Impossible Pie
4 eggs.........1/4 c. margarine
2 c. cold milk.......1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. sugar.........1 c. coconut
12 c. flour

Look at the flour. 12 cups! Nah, that can't be right. The recipe said it was by JoAnn Larsen and it is in St. Rocco's Cookbook. Well, I don't know JoAnn, but I do happen to own a St. Rocco's Cookbook. (St. Mary's celebrate the feast of St. Rocco with a big 4 day festival.)I looked it up.

The 12 cups was an error. A big one! It should have read 1/2 c. Big diff!

It was delicious. And I guess the impossible is doing it with 12 cups?
