Re: Re: Homemade NT granola bars

November 23, 2002

Pam, do you think it would be possible to make the granola by adding the raw

honey in after it cooks,so it is still raw, or would it be impossible to get

the right texture by doing so?

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

--Saint Isaac the Syrian
