Feast of St. Paschal Baylon

Today is the feast of St. Paschal.

 “Meditate well on this: Seek God above all things. It is right for you to seek God before and above everything else, because the majesty of God wishes you to receive what you ask for. This will also make you more ready to serve God and will enable you to love him more perfectly” (St. Paschal).

St. Paschal had a great devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and is the patron saint of cooks.

A great book for kids is: Pascual and the Kitchen Angels by Tomie dePaola.    It’s one of our favorites.
