    Rosemary's Blessing:                            

    This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

    Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

    The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

    What's not OK in me? 

    What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

    Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

    To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

     

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
