GLUTTONY

Snippet

Mirrors on the ceiling,

The pink champagne on ice

And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'

And in the master's chambers,

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives,

But they just can't kill the beast  The Eagles Hotel California

Scripture

Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, 

with minds set on earthly things. Philippians 3:19 ESV

Song

"Eat It”” By Weird Al YANKOVIC

How come you're always such a fussy young man

Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran

Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan

So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate

Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate

You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate

So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Get yourself an egg and beat it

Have some more chicken, have some more pie

It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it

Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are some cryin' shame

You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game

Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame

So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told

You haven't even touched your tuna casserole

You better chow down or it's gonna get cold

So eat it

I don't care if you're full

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Open up your mouth and feed it

Have some more yogurt, have some more spam

It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Don't you make me repeat it

Have a banana, have a whole bunch

It doesn't matter what you had for lunch

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

If it's gettin' cold, reheat it

Have a big dinner, have a light snack

If you don't like it, you can't send it back

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)

Have some more chicken, have some more pie

It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)

Have a banana, have a whole bunch

It doesn't matter what you had for lunch

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Sentence Prayer

Lord, thank You for the bounty of this day

That provided delightful things for the table

Let me look at food

With grace and enjoyment

Without overlooking my health.

Curb my appetite without begrudging me

The reasonable need to fill my basic hunger.

Rein my lack of control

With the knowledge

That the quality of my nourishment

Is more vital than the quantity of my cravings.

Keep me ever mindful of Your blessing

Not of how much more I can eat

But of how thankful I ought to be.

Amen.  (http://www.yourcatholicguide.com/prayers-and-devotions/forgiveness/against-gluttony.html)
