Tomorrow morning, February 3rd , I’m heading over to the Catholic Church to celebrate the feast of Saint Blaise. Back in St. Patrick’s School, that was the day we lined up to get our throats blessed. The priest came to classroom (while the nuns went teeheehee), carrying a cross of two large candles tied with red ribbon. The priest held the candle cross up to each of our throats and, in Latin, said, “Through the intercession of St. Blaise, may God preserve you from throat troubles and every other evil.” I loved the quaint the little ceremony and the story of St. Blaise who saved a boy with a fish bone stuck in his throat. A kid just like me! Nowadays, I like being saved from “every other evil” thing.
Keep on Blessing
Forever, I’ve believed that blessing food is the way to go. It’s especially important when practicing a new way of eating. Blessings confer holiness and strong wishes for happiness; they are inherently good. I just don’t think you’re likely to lose control on blessed food. When done sincerely, the blessing brings in a state of mindfulness, gratitude and peace. And so it stands to reason (to me anyway) that blessed food will be eaten with intention and joy. A lit candle is also nice for casting out dark confusing thoughts. I mean, why not give it a try? Bless your food.
A penny for your thoughts…

While I didn’t go to Catholic schools, I do remember the throat blessing ceremony in church. No fish bones for me, thankfully, just a simple blessing to keep my body healthy.
Blessings to you,
Diane
