Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

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

    Rosemary's Blessing

    When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away
    then the work of Christmas begins:

    Lord, help us

    to find the lost,
    to heal those broken in spirit,
    to feed the hungry,
    to release the oppressed,
    to rebuild the nations,
    to bring peace among all peoples,
    and to make a little music with the heart…

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

     

    Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

    Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

    Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

    May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

    May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

    Blessed be your name forever,

    Amen.

     

    Rabbi Andrew M. Paley, senior rabbi with Temple Shalom, Dallas.

    So sorry, Brent, we are out of cupcakes.  However, this check is for the marvelous work you do with Souls Harbor.   I am only disappointed that it is not quite up to our hoped for goal of $2000 per month.
