Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give of one's self;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and
sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived –
This is to have succeeded.

 

What Is Success  by Ralph Waldo Emerson

    The Road Not Taken

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
     
    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    And having perhaps the better claim,
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    Though as for that the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same,
     
    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    I doubted if I should ever come back.
     
    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.
     
    Robert Frost

     

    Have a Beautiful & Peace Filled New Year!

    Rosemary's Blessing

     

    Let us approach the feast of the Holy Spirit with the confidence and conviction that the Spirit of God who has brought us this far is always ahead of us, calling us forward and offering us what we need.

    Let us ask for the Spirit’s Gifts of:

    Wonder and Amazement at God’s faithful, steady, unconditional love for us in all the planned and unplanned times in our lives

    Compassion for those who are suffering, isolated, hungry or unemployed

    Deep Peace and Calm when we are in the midst of anxiety, worry or loss

    Courage in conflictual situations that call us to speak the truth with love

    Trust and Confidence that God is with us as God beckons us forward in ways unknown.

    Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your Spirit that we may do our part in healing and transforming our world into the realm of God ~ A place of inclusive love, unity, reconciliation, justice and peace.

  • Reminder for 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 1, 2024

    Deuteronomy 4:  Yes. What other great nation has gods that are intimate with them the way God, our God, is with us, always ready to listen to us?

    James 1:  Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.

    Mark 7:  Jesus called the crowd together again and said, "Listen now, all of you – take this to heart.   It's not what you swallow that pollutes your life; it's what you vomit – that's the real pollution."
