Recipes for Easter-Pentecost :: From the Archives


Blessing for Easter Food
Prayer Source: Family Customs: Easter to Pentecost

O Lord, who hast blessed five loaves in the desert, Graciously give us bread for life's needs. Almighty God, let not Thy gifts lead us to sin. Let not the goblet of sparkling wine induce us to misdeeds. While we enjoy our feast, let us also in charity remember All those who suffer want and hunger. May not the pleasure of the body stifle the inspirations Of Thy Holy Spirit, O Lord.

The 50 Days of Easter ~ The Good Shepherd's Garden Party

A couple years ago Charlotte and I put together a series of weekly menus for celebrating the 50 days of Easter along with The Garden of the Good Shepherd: A Sticker Calendar to Count the Fifty Days of Easter.   If you aren't able to order the Sticker Calendar, Charlotte has also illustrated a darling printable version!  You can read all the details here.

Charlotte and I have been trying to decide whether or not to post a link-ups again this coming Easter Season.  Is anyone interested in joining us this year?

Novena for Easter

O Divine Saviour, who rose from the dead on that first glorious Easter morn, grant that I may rise from my sins and so live as to see You, glorious and immortal, in heaven. Lord, I am nothing, but, although nothing, I adore You.

    1. Those are Vanilla Steamers from this post over at Shower of Roses: http://showerofroses.blogspot.com/2010/05/celebrating-pentecost-birthday-of.html

      Basically just steamed milk with some vanilla and sweetener of choice added.

      You can also find "Mount Carmel Steamers" in the archives here at Catholic Cuisine:
