Rosemary's Blessing: 

Let us pray to our God,

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

May our actions bear witness to the suffering of others.

May our hands never harm a living being.

May our steps stay on the journey of justice.

May our tongue speak to those who are poor

Without fear of the powerful.

May our prayers rise with patient discontent

Until no child is hungry.

Taken and adapted from a prayer by Mary Lou Kownacki, OSB for Pax Christi USA in commemoration of the United Nations International Decade for the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World.

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.

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Schweiger

The Status of The Hip:

1.  The whole process since Wednesday A.M. has been amazingly efficient and pain free (except when I forgot the pain med when moving from the hospital to the house).

2.  I can walk with a walker, fairly easily & every day more easily.

3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  After a day of this, I am wiped out by 7:00. 

4.  Thanks for everything.

God of every nation and people,

that Jesus so desires of us.    

Amen.
