Thanks again, Folks, for doing what you can.

Rosemary's Blessing:

Prayer begins with the realization that I am loved by God as I am. God’s love is based on nothing and, therefore, is the most basic and secure fact in my life. I simply let myself be loved by God. This is not so much as activity of mine but a passivity in which I let God’s love soak in and permeate my whole being.

Adapted from “As Bread That is Broken” by Peter van Breemen

Reading 1

The Lord be with you.

A Reading from the Gospel of Matthew

When they neared Jerusalem, Jesus sent two disciples with these instructions: “Go over to the village across from you. You’ll find a donkey tethered there, her colt with her. Untie her and bring them to me. If anyone asks what you’re doing, say, ‘The Master needs them!’ He will send them with you.”

This is the full story of what was sketched earlier by the prophet Zechariah:

“Shout and cheer, Daughter Zion! Raise the roof, Daughter Jerusalem!

Your king is coming! A good king who makes all things right,

A humble king riding a donkey, a mere colt of a donkey.”

The disciples went and did exactly what Jesus told them to do. They led the donkey and colt out, laid some of their clothes on them, and Jesus mounted. Nearly all the people in the crowd threw their garments down on the road, giving him a royal welcome. Others cut branches from the trees and threw them down as a welcome mat. Crowds went ahead and crowds followed, all of them calling out, “Hosanna to David’s son!” “Blessed is he who comes in God’s name!” “Hosanna in highest heaven!”

As he made his entrance into Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken. Unnerved, people were asking, “What’s going on here? Who is this?”

The parade crowd answered, “This is the prophet Jesus, the one from Nazareth in Galilee.”

[Procession to the Table for Mass]

Reading 2

A Reading from the Prophet Isaiah, Chapter 50

GOD has given me a well-taught tongue, so I know how to encourage tired people.

He wakes me up in the morning, he opens my ears to listen, as one ready to take orders.

GOD opened my ears, and I didn’t go back to sleep, didn’t pull the covers back over my head.

I followed orders, stood there and took it while they beat me, held steady while they pulled out my beard.

I didn’t dodge their insults, and faced them as they spit in my face.

        And GOD stays right there and helps me, so I’m not disgraced.

Therefore I set my face like flint, confident that I’ll never regret this.

Our word for today.

A Reading from the Letter to the Philippians

        Sisters and brothers: Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all.

When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity, and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then a selfless and obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.

        Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father.

Our word for today.

Life, A Circle?

Today, Wednesday, April 1, Rosemary & I signed away our home on Tulip Lane, looking to downsize. It surprised me that the signing was to take place on Rosedale Avenue & Snider Plaza, in University Park. I was born one street north, on Milton, & one of my best childhood buddies, Pete Wacks, lived one block west on Rosedale. It was surprisingly moving to sign away our house in the place where it all began in 1940. A Circle?

Rosemary's Blessing:

Covid-19: A Prayer of Solidarity

For all who have contracted Corona-Virus,

We pray for care and healing.

For those who are particularly vulnerable,

We pray for safety and protection.

For all who experience fear or anxiety,

We pray for peace of mind and spirit.

For affected families who are facing difficult decisions between food on the table or public safety,

We pray for policies that recognize their plight.

For those who do not have adequate health insurance,

We pray that no family will face financial burdens alone.

For those who are afraid to access care due to immigration status,

We pray for recognition of the God-given dignity of all.

For our brothers and sisters around the world,

We pray for shared solidarity.

For public officials and decision-makers,

We pray for wisdom and guidance.

Father, during this time may your Church be a sign of hope, comfort and love to all.

Grant peace.

Grant comfort.

Grant healing.

Be with us, Lord.

Amen

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this coming Saturday. We are excited by the prospect of leaving the Rochester Park Lakes area in their best shape in many years. If you are not able to join us, we will miss you but invite you to visit the site any time your schedule allows. We will certainly invite you to participate in our future projects and keep you apprised of our future endeavors.
- For those of you who will be participating on Saturday, here are a few final instructions/recommendations:
- The registration tables will open at 8:00 a.m. at the Rochester Park pavilion. I have attached a copy of the driving directions.
- We plan to have all the work crews deployed by 9:00 a.m., but will assign volunteers right up to 11:00 a.m.
- Please wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants.
- Wear sturdy work shoes or boots (Considering the recent rains, you may want to wear galoshes since the areas in and around the Forest may still be wet.)
- Bring work gloves if you have them. We will have a limited number of gloves for loan.
- We will have plenty of water and other beverages, but you may want to bring a water bottle to carry to your work site.
- Lunch will be served at noon.
Thank you again for offering to help us improve this wonderful area in Dallas. See you Saturday.

Regards,

Ron Kovatis

Reminder for the 34th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Christ the King Sunday, November 26, 2023
ByRosemary November 22, 2023

Ezekiel 34: Thus says the Lord God: From now on, I myself am the shepherd. As shepherds go after their flocks when they get scattered, I’m going after my sheep. I’ll rescue them from all the places they’ve been scattered.

James: You can no more show me your works apart from your faith, than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith—they fit together hand in glove.

Luke 17: Whenever you did one of these things to the least of my sisters and brothers—that was me. You did it to me.

Another Reminder for the 34th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Christ the King Sunday, November 26, 2023

Kameran ready for his baptism Saturday. Before the baptism, I look down at Kameran to see that he not only has an iPhone open in his had, but he is looking for a particular app with his finger. He barely knows how to walk and already can operate an iPhone. Just like when we were kids, yeah.

Special Announcement: We are moving

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood. Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines. Sigler will be more economical. September 6 we begin our new adventure.

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!
