    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    Humankind, full of all creative possibilities,

    is God’s work.

    Humankind alone is called to assist God.

    Humankind is called to co-create.

    With nature’s help,

    humankind can set into creation all that is necessary and life-sustaining.

    Wisdom 9: Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?  For the deliberations of mortals are timid,  and unsure are our plans.

    Philemon: Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me, but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord.

    Luke 14: Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
