Recently he was successful in getting disability and some significant compensation.  Last Sunday at Mass he gave the ministry a check for $15,000. I and everyone was quite moved, never expecting or asking for return payment.  The board has suggested that we place this amount into a money market. We will use the interest and save the principle for emergencies. Thanks first to our member and secondly to you all for your non-stop generosity!

Rosemary’s Blessing

 HOPI PRAYER…..
of The Soul's Graduation:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there,
I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
On the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there.
I did not die.

Rosemary's Blessing:                                    

O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.
