March 6 Pride and Humility
Isn’t it good to have pride? Do we really need to think of ourselves as lowly or even worthless in order to be a Christian? This week we will look closer at what is meant by pride and humility in our lives. For background reading, read Canto 11-12 of Purgatorio.
March 13 Sloth and Faithfulness
Sloth is not a word used particularly frequently in everyday conversation. It deals with being slow to act or failing to take responsibility. How might that relate to Christian faithfulness? For background reading, read Canto 17-18 of Purgatorio.

Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
1 C Butter
1 T Freshly minced rosemary
½ C Sugar
1 ½ C Flour
½ t Vanilla
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and rosemary. Add flour by hand. Roll dough ½ inch thick and cut into desired shape using your favorite 2-inch cookie cutter. Prick cookies all over with a fork. Place on un-greased cookie sheet and let cookies “rest” for 10 minutes before baking. Bake for 30-45 minutes. Watch carefully for the last 15 minutes. Cook thoroughly and store in an airtight container. The rosemary flavor becomes stronger by the second or third storage day. Make approximately 24 cookies.

April 10 – Wrath and Justness
Anger is a part of human emotions, and a sign that something is wrong. How do we distinguish helpful feelings and expressions of anger from harmful ones? For background reading, read Canto 15-16 of Purgatorio.
