Show notes for episode 85:

This is Jeff Young, the Catholic Foodie at catholicfoodie.com, and you are listening to episode 85 of the Catholic Foodie: Remembering Hurricane Katrina.

Welcome, folks, to the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith. I am your host Jeff Young and we have a full menu today… on the 5th anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina. We are going to reflect on Hurricane Katrina today, and talk about her nemesis – Our Lady of Prompt Succor.

Sarah Vabulas – the Catholic Drinkie – joins us today for our aperitif segment. We’ll be talking about Bloody Marys. And Sarah Reinhard graces us again with her Mary in the Kitchen segment.

We have our health tip to talk about, and a recipe for Jambalaya. All this and more right here at the Catholic Foodie, where food meets faith!

Prayer:

Jesus, in the gospel you call us to a radical way of life. You once told a story about a dinner party. And in that story you told us that, when we throw a dinner party, not to invite family and friends and the wealthy and influential. In other words, those who can repay us. Rather, you told us to invite the crippled, the lame, the poor, those who can never pay us back. Jesus, this is difficult. Oftentimes we forget that the poor may be sitting right next to us at the table and we may not recognize them. Jesus, give us the grace to invite them to banquet in our hearts. Help us to share with each other our time, our attention, our very selves. Just as you do for us. Thank you, Jesus, for this food that we are about to receive. Bless this food, Lord. And bless us. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
