Rosemary’s Blessing

 Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

      no hands but yours,

      no feet but yours,

 Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s

      compassion is to look out to the world,

 Yours are the feet with which Christ is to

      go about doing good,

 Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to  

     bless all people now.

 From a prayer by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

Rosemary’s Blessing 

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

Genevieve says (as she prepares to take off), "See you next week, Everybody."

Cathy, in full form & dress. says "Welcome in, Everyone, and enjoy the story of my two ancestors who sailed on The Mayflower."

In remembrance of the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War – November 11, 1918 at 11:11 AM.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

Cemetery in Ypres, Belgium.

Thanks, Rosemary, for reading  On Flanders Field, to help honor the memory of The Signing on this 100 year anniversary.
