Rosemary's Blessing: Oh God who made me absolutely unique,

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem,

Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives.

Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present.

Take Time to be Aware … Edward Hays, A Pilgrim’s Almanac, p. 196

JSM Mission-Faith Statement

      Help create a Catholic Community that welcomes all God’s People, provides for & challenges spiritual & total growth

      Reaches out to help people who are disadvantaged & make the world we live in a better place to live.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

May God bless you with discomfort…
at easy answers, hard hearts,
half-truths ,and superficial relationships.
May God bless you so that you may live
from deep within your heart
where God’s Spirit dwells.

And 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.

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…

 Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman

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.
