Rosemary's Blessing:  
 

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye.

    Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
    1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
     Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “Rivers do not drink their own water;
    trees do not eat their own fruit;
    the sun does not shine on itself
    and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
    Living for others is a rule of nature.
    We are born to help each other.
    No matter how difficult it is.
    Life is good when you are happy
    but much better when others are happy because of you.
    Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
    problems are a sign that we are strong and
    prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
    If we can acknowledge these truths and
    condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
    be more meaningful,
    different and
    worthwhile.” 

    Pope Francis

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

           

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.

        "A new year is unfolding—like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.

        Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good—with the comfort of warmth in our relationships, with the strength to help those who need our hel, and the humility and openness to accept help from others.

        As we make our resolutions for the year ahead, let us go forward with great hope that all things can be possible—with Your help and guidance."

    Rosemary's Blessing

    The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.
