Just Another Day In Paradise

Pentecost Sunday

Come, Holy Spirit,

send forth the heavenly

radiance of your light.

Come, father of the poor,

come giver of gifts,

come, light of the heart.

Greatest comforter,

sweet guest of the soul,

sweet consolation.

In labor, rest,

in heat, temperance,

in tears, solace.

O most blessed light,

fill the inmost heart

of your faithful.

Without your divine will,

there is nothing in man,

nothing is harmless.

Wash that which is unclean,

water that which is dry,

heal that which is wounded.

Bend that which is inflexible,

warm that which is chilled,

make right that which is wrong.

Give to your faithful,

who rely on you,

the sevenfold gifts.

Give reward to virtue,

give salvation at our passing on,

give eternal joy.

Amen. Alleluia.

Divine Mercy Sunday dessert

The idea for this delicious dessert came to me while at Mass this morning. My little baby girl has been very sick with a stomach flu all week and I was trying to think of fun foods I could give her to help her gain back the weight she lost this week. What better than some pound cake (high fat and iron), whipped cream and fresh raspberries  (high fiber and vitamin C) to put on some weight and build up her immune system. So, here is our Divine Mercy dessert.

Ingredients:

1 pound cake, sliced in half

1 cup fresh raspberries, sliced

1 tablespoon of seedless raspberry jam

1 can of whipped cream

Directions:

Slice the pound cake in half. Spread the raspberry jam on the left side of the pound cake and add the raspberries down the line. Spray the whipped topping on the pound cake. Slice a piece of each pound cake and put it together like a sandwich. Serve and enjoy!
