Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

 

May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
The kindness you spread keep returning to you.
May the friendships you make be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.
And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

    Rick & Jackie Urbanczyk's Blessing:  

    May you be blessed with all things good.
    May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count.
    May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand
    on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world.
    May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger
    and may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companions.
    May every pathway you choose lead to
    that which is pure and good and lovely.
    May every doubt and fear be replaced by a deep abiding trust
    as you behold evidence of a Higher Power all around you.
    And when there is only darkness and the storms of life are closing in…
    May the light at the core of your being illuminate the world.
    May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure
    and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return.
    May you always feel protected and cradled in the arms of God,
    like the cherished child you are.
    And when you are tempted to judge,
    may you be reminded that we are all one
    and that every thought you think reverberates across the universe,
    touching everyone and everything.
    And when you are tempted to hold back,
    may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely…
    and it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift.
    May you always have music and laughter
    and may a rainbow follow every storm.
    May gladness wash away every disappointment,
    may joy dissolve every sorrow…and may love ease every pain.
    May every wound bring wisdom and every trial bring triumph
    and with each passing day may you live more abundantly
    than the day before.
    May you be blessed.
    And may others be blessed by you.
    This is my heartfelt wish for you.

    May you be blessed.

    Sunday Homily, June 9, 2019, Pentecost–Delayed

    A Note from Ye old Editor of our beloved Community Newsletter and Blog: 

    Sorry for the delay this week.  I was all ready to join the community for Pentecost, then came down with a beauty of a cold after arriving Thursday night from our cruise through Alaska, which is even more beautiful than I expected.  Hope to see everybody this Sunday, Trinity.

     

     

    Readings: 

    Genesis 11, 1-9, The whole world spoke the same language.  (from the vigil Mass)

    Psalm 104,  Lord, Send out your spirit, and renew the face of the earth. (Vigil)  

    Exodus 19, 3-8,   Moses went up the mountain to God.  (Vigil)

    John 14, 15-16, 23-26,   If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

     

     

    Homily:

    Alaska Dreaming

    Despite the fact that Rosemary & I would love to invite all of you to join us on the Alaska cruise, we know it is impossible.  In place of that, however, I would like to high light 4 specials that touched us.

    Of all the many specials that we experienced, l would say that the profound natural beauty that surrounded us was overwhelming, whether in the south of Ketchikan and Sitka to the north of Valdez and Seward.  It struck me as Yosemite on steroids.  Necklaces of glaciers and snow capped mountains.  We saw a lot because the sun rose about 3:00 A.M. and set about 11:00. 

    A small phenomenon that hit me was Juneau, the State capitol, chosen by the people in 1906.  You cannot get there by car.  No roads in or out.  A few cars wander the  town roads because they are shipped in by boat.  Instead, snowy peaks and glaciers.

    Another place that struck me was a little island called IcyStraight Point, an island occupied by the Tlingit tribe.

    This tribe has gone all in on tourism, providing 6-8 daily excursions around the island to see bears, go fishing, and wander the trails.  They also built the longest zip line in the world, so they told me, one mile long with six cables running simultaneously.  It takes about an hour bus ride to get to the top of this peak.  We all get buckled in, they double check everybody, then, “Away we Went.”  And it was beautiful.  If only I could have gone again I would appreciate it even more.

    Another thing that struck me and really touched me was the number of people using wheel chairs, walkers, and canes.  I remember seeing four women in wheel chairs.  I told the lady with a walker that I would give her $25 to use her walker on the shore excursion we were taking.  She said, “Make it $50 and I’ll think about it.

    At the gym where I worked out in the mornings two guys came in most mornings, put down their canes by their machines or bikes, and off they went.  This meant a lot to me because in future years I can see myself boarding with a cane.

    I feel doubly blessed that Rosemary & I could witness such natural beauty and such beauty in our fellow travelers.  Your blessing this week?
