Well done and thankful for your heart behind your blog-it's encouraging for sure. Amen to soul first, body second-great phrase. I think I will link this to my personal blog so that a few of my girls can read it and hopefully be challenged to continue thinking well within this sphere of life. :) Gi thanks for this link!

St. Benedict was saved from poisoned wine as related by St. Gregory here:

His exorcism prayer is recalled by initials on the back of his medal. Really what I do is ask God ‘s blessing on the food through the intercession of St. Benedict.

What is St. Benedict’s blessing? I don’t know that I’m familiar with it…

Here is how it spoke to me; even when we are concerned about giving our families the very best in all ways, we must be practical...when I first read about traditional foods and healthier ways of eating, I wanted to throw everything out and cook from scratch for my 5 kids still at home. I've always enjoyed cooking and through nearly 30 years I've worked at providing nutritious meals according to what I learned was best. Now, although I know that fresh, unprocessed food is best, I am unable to make absolutely everything from scratch due to health issues common to middle age and the fact that we sometimes have to supplement the budget with donated foods. So...I do the best I can with what we can afford, occasionally remembering to pray St. Benedict's blessing over those foods which don't measure up but still fill hungry stomachs. having recently found your website also, I am inspired by your posts and encouraged by your Catholic charism. And yes, the old can learn from the young! I read this post even later!

Soul first, body second. It says so much. It puts the priority in the right place, however, it doesn't deny the fact that God created us with a body and wants us to treat it well. When the choice has to be made between the two, I will choose Soul. Great, great post!! Hi,
