We Become What We Worship

Blessed Sacrament is offering a video series by Fr. Robert Barron about Catholicism. Last night was the first session and my husband and I both attended.  It was an amazing session about the identity of Jesus. One of the things that he said that really stuck with me is that "we become what we worship."  I think Lenten sacrifices are a great way to take a look at what our objects of worship are and re-focus our sights on the Lord. This Lent I am I spending less time on the internet in the evenings and more time being present with my family and caring for my house. I am reminding myself that if I am to become what I worship, that I should be aiming for holiness and union with God; not emulating people I have never met that I read about on a blog.  I need to be more focused on my own life and not on Facebook.  I am actually loving this "sacrifice" that I am making because I can see tangible evidence of it making me a better wife, mother, friend, and person.  Have a wonderful weekend!!

PS--I tried thsi recipe this week and if you are looking for something cheap, healthy and delicious to add to your meatless dinners; you have to try this:

Corn and Black Bean Quesadillas

• 1 can of black beans (drain off the clear liquid)
• 1 cup of frozen corn
• 1 package of taco seasoning mix
• 2 cups of shredded cheese
• flour tortillas

Mix first four ingredients together.  Put 1/4 cup of filling inside a tortilla, fold in half and cook in a frying pan.  This recipe makes about 10 quesadillas. Delicious!!
