  • Reminder for Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024

    Acts of the Apostles 10: You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.  He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

    Colossians 3:  When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

    John 20:  Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.   For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

     

    Gethsemane            by Mary Oliver

    The grass never sleeps.
    Or the roses.
    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.
    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.
    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.
    Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself
    into a silver tree, and didn't move, maybe
    the lake far away, where once he walked as on a
    blue pavement,
    lay still and waited, wild awake.
    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
    so utterly human, knowing this too
    must be a part of the story.
