Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

 

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!

    Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
    1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
     Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “Rivers do not drink their own water;
    trees do not eat their own fruit;
    the sun does not shine on itself
    and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
    Living for others is a rule of nature.
    We are born to help each other.
    No matter how difficult it is.
    Life is good when you are happy
    but much better when others are happy because of you.
    Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
    problems are a sign that we are strong and
    prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
    If we can acknowledge these truths and
    condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
    be more meaningful,
    different and
    worthwhile.” 

    Pope Francis

    Breathe of Summer

    Creator God
    who breathed this world into being,
    who is discernible within
    the harmony of nature,
    the perfection of a butterfly’s wing,
    the grandeur of a mountain range,
    the soaring eagle and humming bird,
    thank you for this world
    which you have created.
    Thank you for summer sun,
    which reminds us
    that your creative breath
    is still alive and active.
    Thank you for the warmth of your love,
    sustaining this world,

    Your garden

    Dear Lord

     Draw me into the radiant glory of your presence and into the small lights
