Sweet Potatoes & Apples
St. John Vianney was known for eating a lot of boiled potatoes and also battled numerous physical and spiritual torments, including being dragged from his bed at night. Despite all of this, St. Vianney used his faith to confront the devil’s attempts. The sweet potatoes in this recipe are a symbol of St. John Vianney’s devotion to our faith through his limited diet and fasting. The apples are a symbol of the devil’s battle with Eve and Adam in the Garden and how, through prayer and fasting from St. Vianney, we too can overcome the snares of the devil by turning to God in prayer and fasting.
St. John Vianney, pray or us.
Feast Day: August 4
Peanut Butter & Sweet Potatoes
St. Isidore the Farmer was born in Madrid, Spain in the latter half of the 12th century. He was a laborer, working long hours in the field and on the farm. It’s been said he was favored to see celestial visions and sometimes the angels would work with him in the fields. Peanuts, while not difficult to grow, do require specific conditions and care to grow and thrive. We as Catholics turn to the Eucharist as the Source and Summit of our Faith, our specific condition to help us grow and thrive, nurturing us, as we grow closer to God the Father and deepen our faith. As sweet potatoes have deep roots, allowing them access to nutrients from deeper parts of the soil and peanuts requiring specific conditions to grow, may we grow deep roots in our relationship with God and Jesus be our specific condition to Heaven.
St. Isidore the Farmer, pray for us.

Apples & Triple Berries
St. Bridget of Sweden was born around 1303 in Uppland, Sweden. She died on July 23, 1373. She is the founder of the Bridgettines, an order dedicated to the Most Holy Savior. Our Lord and Our Lady revealed to her the Seven Times Jesus spilled His Precious Blood for us. The deep, dark color of the triple berries in this mixture show the deep, dark, life-giving blood as to which Our Lord spilled for our salvation and eternal life with Him in Heaven. Mary, the new Eve, the new Ark of the Covenant, in her sweetness and grace as our eternal and spiritual mother, brings us to Her Most Holy Son through her sorrow while praying the Seven Sorrows Chaplet and the Magnificent Promises of the 12 Years Prayers given to St. Bridget to share with us.
St. Bridget of Sweden, pray for us.
Feast Day: July 23
