St. Anthony died at the age of thirty-five after becoming sick with ergotism, the result of long-term exposure to grains (in his case rye) contaminated with a fungus. The condition is sometimes called “St. Anthony’s Fire.” He was canonized less than a year later. As ergotism has been eradicated in the developed world, I like to boldly serve grilled pastrami and provolone sandwiches, on Italian rye bread, for the day.

Authentic Mexican street tacos are simple, delicious, and easy to make at home.

In his Confessions, St. Augustine shares a story from his youth where he and his friends steal pears from a neighbor and then proceed to feed them to the neighborhood pigs, not having been hungry for pears themselves. This pear crisp is a great reminder of how time, good friends, and a whole lotta prayers from mom can help even the most grievous sinner taste the sweet glory of heaven.

In his encyclical Laborem Exercens, Pope Saint John Paul II stated: “the Church considers it her task always to call attention to the dignity and rights of those who work. . .” Saint Joseph is held up as a model of such work. Reflect on the gift of labor in your own life and how you can pursue it with his help today–and every day!

Saint George is known for his courage and being a brave warrior. He refused to honor pagan gods, and as a result, eventually died for his Christian beliefs. May we hope to receive this same grace in the face of adversity. Saint George, pray for us!

This silly activity is based on The Donkey of Tarsus, who tells the story of Paul’s conversion from his perspective. You’re sure to laugh as you try to pin Saint Paul to said donkey blindfolded (Jesus did take his sight away for three days). But while you’re at it, don’t also forget to reflect on the goodness of God’s mercy and the miracles he performed while spreading the faith!

This art print features the piece “The Miraculous Translation of the Body of Saint Catherine of Alexandria to Sinai” by Karl von Blaas. Tradition tells us that after her Martyrdom in Rome St. Catherine’s body was carried by angels to the top of Mount Sinai where it was discovered hundreds of years later by the monks who lived in a nearby monastery. Display this print all month long and be inspired by Saint Catherine’s heroic virtue!

While Saint Jerome’s personality was certainly lion-like in many ways, there is also a legend that tells us that Saint Jerome actually befriended a lion! While he was living in the desert, Saint Jerome helped a lion remove thorn in his paw. The lion was so grateful that he became a companion to Saint Jerome for the rest of his life!

Rogation comes from the root word rogare, meaning to ask, as does the word litany (litaneo), meaning to ask repeatedly. On this traditional day of prayer, we humbly ask God for protection, forgiveness, and good health through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin and all the saints using this guide.

Celebrate the feast of Saint Paul Miki by praying the prayer on the back of this holy card and by displaying her image for the day!

St. Luke’s symbol as an evangelist is a winged ox or cow, which is the inspiration for this fun feast day dinner!

This feast was established in 1955 to remind everyone that the dignity of work is a very Christian tradition, rooted in the Garden of Eden, despite what Communists were trying to tell everyone at the time. Today is a great day to tackle a hands-on project, like these time intensive donut holes! As you knead–or “work”–the dough, remember to pray for laborers and for the conversion of communist nations.

The seafaring Portuguese have a love for shellfish and seafood, and are especially known for mussel recipes like this one. Mussels in the shell make for a FAST, fun, and memorable family meal my kids love. A crusty loaf of bread is lovely to sop up the tasty broth. Serve with a salad and some dancing sun cupcakes for dessert.

One of the best parts of my high school career was eating at the home of a friend who came from an Italian-American family. Every meal his mom cooked was amazing, but the most fun were the days when they would invite big groups of kids for what we called Pasta Alla Tavola or “Pasta on the Table.” Mrs. Vitale would dump pots of pasta with butter and parmesan cheese in the middle of the “table.” Then we would all eat it . . . with our hands. It was the BEST. It’s perfect for the feast of St. Joseph. As a carpenter, Joseph worked with his hands. In honor of his day, we eat with our hands! It’s not much of a “recipe,” per se, but here it is . . .

Today is a now-little known day of penance, offered to God during the spring planting season in the hopes that the crops would be protected from natural disasters. So in an effort to ask for God’s mercy in a visible way, we’re going to plant our own seeds, ask for his blessing, and watch them grow.

Do you have an aspiring St. George in your midst? No need to stress over how to make a sword and shield so he, or she, can get to the important task of slaying the dragon! Just grab this digital download and a cardboard box and you're good to go!

Legend says that St. George slayed a dragon in the name of Jesus Christ. His heroic actions saved a princess, along with all of the city’s inhabitants, who then asked to be baptized in His name. What really happened is. . . St. George spread the Good News (Jesus) during the Middle Ages, saving many from the threat of their pagan beliefs (the dragon). With this in mind, reflect on St. George as a missionary and warrior, and recall your baptismal promises as you recite the prayer on the back of this print!

This art print features the icon “Our Lady of the Sign”. The artist in unknown, but it originated in Byzantium and is one of the most revered icons in the Russian Orthodox Church. The icon shows Mary, the Mother of God, with her arms outstretched in an attitude of prayer. In the middle is the Christ Child blessing the world at the moment of his conception.
