Religion
in the Home for Preschool: July
(By Saint Ambrose)
King of virgins and Lover of chastity and innocence,
extinguish in my frame,
by the dew of Thy heavenly blessing,
the fuel of evil concupiscence,
that I may be pure both in soul and in body.
Mortify in my members the lusts of the flesh and all harmful emotions,
and give me true and persevering chastity with Thine other gifts
which please Thee in truth,
so that I may with chaste body and pure heart
offer unto Thee the sacrifice of praise.
For with what contrition of heart and fountain of tears,
with what reverence and awe,
with what chastity of body and purity of soul,
should not that Divine and heavenly Sacrifice be celebrated,
wherein Thy flesh is indeed eaten,
where Thy blood is indeed drunk,
wherein things lowest and highest,
earthly and Divine, are united,
where the holy Angels are present,
and where Thou art in a marvellous and unspeakable manner
both Sacrifice and Priest!
Amen.

LASAGNA
Joshua, Chapter 10, Verse 1-2
1
Now when Adonizedek,
king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai and put it under the ban,
and had done to that city and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the
inhabitants of Gibeon had made their peace with Israel, remaining among them, 2
there was great FEAR abroad, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal
cities, greater even than Ai, and all its men were warriors.
Gibeon
was going to get a beat down by the Canaanite Kings because it had aligned with
Israel. Joshua showed he was a man of virtue by coming to the aid of Gibeon
even if the treaty was by trickery. Often you can tell the character of a
person by how they treat their past enemies and how they respond to
overwhelming odds. Israel the smallest of nations came to the defense of Gibeon
to fight an enemy five times larger, but the faith of Joshua and his army
multiplied their numbers.
Faith
is always a great multiplier in overcoming odds take the story of Glen
Cunningham who beat the odds to go on to compete at the Olympics.
Glenn Verniss Cunningham (August 4, 1909 – March 10, 1988)
was an American distance runner and athlete considered by many the greatest
American miler of all time. Cunningham was nicknamed the "Kansas
Flyer", the "Elkhart Express" and the "Iron Horse of Kansas".
Cunningham's legs were very badly
burned in an explosion caused when someone accidentally put gasoline instead of
kerosene in the can at his schoolhouse when he was eight and his brother Floyd
was thirteen. Floyd died in the fire. When the doctors recommended amputating Glenn's legs, he was so
distressed his parents would not allow it. The doctors predicted he might never
walk normally again. He had lost all the flesh on his knees and shins and all
the toes on his left foot. Also, his transverse arch was practically destroyed.
However, his great determination, coupled with hours upon hours of a new type
of therapy, enabled him to gradually regain the ability to walk and to proceed
to run. It was in the early summer of 1919 when he first tried to walk again,
roughly two years after the accident. He had a positive attitude as well as a
strong religious faith. His favorite Bible verse was Isaiah 40:31:
"But
those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not
faint."
He competed in both the 1932 Summer
Olympics as well as the 1936 Summer Olympics. While on the ship traveling from
the U.S. to Germany, he was voted "Most Popular Athlete" by his
fellow Olympians.
In 1934, he set the world record
for the mile run at 4:06.8, which stood for three years.[1]
Become
this an Iron Horse for the Lord!
Feast of St. Martha[2]
According to legend, St
Martha left Judea after Jesus' death, around AD 48, and went to Provence with
her sister Mary (Mary Magdalene) and her brother Lazarus. With them, Martha
first settled in Avignon (now in France). The Golden Legend, compiled in
the 13th century, records the Provençal tradition:
The Golden Legend
also records the grand lifestyle imagined for Martha and her siblings in its
entry on Mary Magdalene:
Mary Magdalene had her
surname of Magdalo, a castle, and was born of right noble lineage and parents,
which were descended of the lineage of kings. And her father was named Cyrus,
and her mother Eucharis. She with her brother Lazarus, and her sister Martha,
possessed the castle of Magdalo, which is two miles from Nazareth, and Bethany,
the castle, which is nigh to Jerusalem, and also a great part of Jerusalem,
which, all these things they departed among them. In such wise that Mary had
the castle Magdalo, whereof she had her name Magdalene. And Lazarus had the
part of the city of Jerusalem, and Martha had to her part Bethany. And when
Mary gave herself to all delights of the body, and Lazarus extended all to
knighthood, Martha, who was wise, governed nobly her brother's part and also
her sister's, and also her own, and administered to knights, and her servants,
and to poor men, such necessities as they needed. Nevertheless, after the
ascension of our Lord, they sold all these things.
Love is a verb, a doing, sharing, acting, and
living part of more than just speech.[3]

National
Lasagna Day[4]
National Lasagna Day is
dedicated to appreciating lasagna. The true origins of when and how
National Lasagna Day came to be are unclear. However, Google reports of
National Lasagna Day began to appear in the 21st century. Lasagna is a flat-shaped
pasta that is layered with sauce and various ingredients, the most popular
including beef, spinach, cheese or seafood. Lasagna is believed to have
originated in Naples, Italy. The first lasagna recipe appears in The
Liber de Coquina (The book of cooking/cookery), which is one of the oldest
medieval cookbooks. Some have suggested that lasagna comes from the Greek word
laganon, which stands for a flat sheet of pasta dough. Others however
suggest that lasagna comes from a 14th-century British recipe called Loseyn,
which included layering ingredients between pasta sheets. National Lasagna Day
is observed on July 29th of every year.

Novena
in Honor of Saint John Marie Vianney[5]
True Love
of Neighbor
Saint John Marie Baptist
Vianney because of your love of God you showed great charity towards your
neighbor. You could not preach on the Love of God without burning tears of
love. During your last years, it seemed as though you could not talk about
anything else or live for anything else. Thus, you sacrificed yourself to your
neighbor by consoling, absolving and sanctifying them to the limits of your
strength. Your charity inspires me to greater love of God, a love which is
shown more by acts then by words. Help me to love my neighbor generously as
Christ loves them. Holy Priest of Ars, I have confidence in your intercession.
Pray for me during this novena especially for ... (mention silently your
special intentions).
Our
Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
Catechism
of the Catholic Church
Day 45
IN BRIEF
315 In the creation of the
world and of man, God gave the first and universal witness to his almighty love
and his wisdom, the first proclamation of the "plan of his loving
goodness", which finds its goal in the new creation in Christ.
316 Though the work of
creation is attributed to the Father in particular, it is equally a truth of
faith that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit together are the one, indivisible
principle of creation.
317 God alone created the
universe, freely, directly and without any help.
318 No creature has the
infinite power necessary to "create" in the proper sense of the word,
that is, to produce and give being to that which had in no way possessed it to
call into existence "out of nothing") (cf DS 3624).
319 God created the world to
show forth and communicate his glory. That his creatures should share in his
truth, goodness and beauty - this is the glory for which God created them.
320 God created the universe
and keeps it in existence by his Word, the Son "upholding the universe by
his word of power" (Heb 1:3), and by his Creator Spirit, the giver of
life.
321 Divine providence
consists of the dispositions by which God guides all his creatures with wisdom
and love to their ultimate end.
322 Christ invites us to
filial trust in the providence of our heavenly Father (cf Mt 6:26-34), and St.
Peter the apostle repeats: "Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares
about you" (I Pt 5:7; cf. Ps 55:23).
323 Divine providence works
also through the actions of creatures. To human beings God grants the ability
to co-operate freely with his plans.
324 The fact that God permits physical and even moral evil
is a mystery that God illuminates by his Son Jesus Christ who died and rose to
vanquish evil. Faith gives us the certainty that God would not permit an evil
if he did not cause a good to come from that very evil, by ways that we shall
fully know only in eternal life
