Reminder for Third Sunday of Easter, April 18, 2021

ByRosemary

Acts of the Apostles 3, God has brought to fulfillment what he announced.

Psalm 4,   Lord, let your face shine on us.

1 John 2, We have an advocate with the father.

Luke 24, While they were still speaking he stood in their midst.

 

Noah 4

 

Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday. April 16.  Required: vaccines, mask for entrance & departure. 

 

 

All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday, circa 30 people.  Let me know if you cannot make it.

I want to remove the tables this week and get out the chairs.  I think the time is right.  Maybe even 10 more friends.

What's going on in Ye Olde Catholic Church
 
1.   Charles Curran writes on Hans Kung. two great pioneering Catholic theologians.  Kung was an inspiration for me before & during my 10 years in East Africa.  Charlie Curran, another inspiration, teaches theology at S.M.U.   We've had dinner together and I regret that I never invited Curran to join us in concelebrating our Sunday Mass. 
Shortly after I was excommunicated for getting married I had dinner with Charlie one evening and he was so supportive of me & our community.  I was touched and humbled.

    Covid version of Night Before Christmas.   Thanks to Becky on FaceBook.

    T'was a month before Christmas,

    And all through the town,

    People wore masks,

    That covered their frown.

     

    The frown had begun

    Way back in the Spring,

    When a global pandemic

    Changed everything.

     

    They called it corona,

    But unlike the beer,

    It didn’t bring good times,

    It didn’t bring cheer.

     

    Airplanes were grounded,

    Travel was banned.

    Borders were closed

    Across air, sea and land.

     

    As the world entered lockdown

    To flatten the curve,

    The economy halted,

    And folks lost their nerve.

     

    From March to July

    We rode the first wave,

    People stayed home,

    They tried to behave.

     

    When summer emerged

    The lockdown was lifted.

    But away from caution,

    Many folks drifted.

     

    Now it’s December

    And cases are spiking,

    Wave two has arrived,

    Much to our disliking.

     

    It’s true that this year

    Has had sadness a plenty,

    We’ll never forget

    The year 2020.

     

    And just ‘round the corner –

    The holiday season,

    But why be merry?

    Is there even one reason?

     

    To decorate the house

    And put up the tree,

    Who will see it,

    No one but me.

     

    But outside my window

    The snow gently falls,

    And I think to myself,

    Let’s deck the halls!

     

    So, I gather the ribbon,

    The garland and bows,

    As I play those old carols,

    My happiness grows.

     

    Christmas is not cancelled

    And neither is hope.

    If we lean on each other,

    I know we can cope

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    May the blessing of the rain be on you—
    the soft sweet rain.
    May it fall upon your spirit
    so that all the little flowers may spring up,
    and shed their sweetness on the air.
    May the blessing of the great rains be on you,
    may they beat upon your spirit
    and wash it fair and clean,
    and leave there many a shining pool
    where the blue of heaven shines,
    and sometimes a star.

    Exodus 16:  "I've listened to the complaints of the Israelites. Now tell them: 'At dusk you will eat meat and at dawn you'll eat your fill of bread; and you'll realize that I am God, your God.'"

    Ephesians 4:  And then take on an entirely new way of life – a God-fashioned life,  a life renewed from the inside . . .

    John 6:  They jumped at that: "Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"   Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
