    It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:  that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

    The Kiss of Peace


    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “A Franciscan Blessing”:

    MAY GOD BLESS YOU with discomfort,
    at easy answers, half-truths,
    and superficial relationships
    so that you may live
    deep within your heart.

    May God bless you with anger
    at injustice, oppression,
    and exploitation of people,
    so that you may work for
    justice, freedom and peace.

    May God bless you with tears,
    to shed for those who suffer pain,
    rejection, hunger, and war,
    so that you may reach out your hand
    to comfort them and
    to turn their pain to joy.

    And may God bless you
    with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can
    make a difference in the world,
    so that you can do
    what others claim cannot be done,
    to bring justice and kindness
    to all our children and the poor.

    Amen

    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!

     

    Taken from an Advent Reflection by S. Jean Amore, CSJ, VP for Mission and Academics, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.
