4th Sunday in Lent March 19, 2023

ByRosemary

1 Samuel 16:  There – anoint him, for this is the one!  Then Samuel , with the horn of oil in his hand, anointed David in the presence of his brothers;

Ephesians 5:  Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.

John 4:  As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth.  He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes, and said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam"

 

I am sorry everyone but Rosemary forgot to put the battery back in the camera so we have no pictures today.

 

Thanks…

Rosemary's Blessing:

 

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

and to treat all I meet today with dignity

    Hi, Emma, Happy Easter

     

     

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God

    you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

     

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like

    God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.

  • The Baptism of the Lord January 11 2026

    ByRosemary

    Isaiah 42:  Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit;
    Acts of the Apostles 10:     Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered
    in the house of Cornelius, saying:  “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
    Matthew 3: After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”


    When we learn to see beyond what we have been told to see, we take our place among the world of adults. Then we are obliged to take responsibility for the consequences of our own actions.
    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

     Samuel 26: But David said to Abishai, “Do not harm him, for who can lay hands on the LORD’s anointed and remain unpunished?”  So David took the spear and the water jug from their place at Saul’s head, and they got away without anyone’s seeing or knowing or awakening. 

    1 Corinthians 15:  Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

    Luke 6: To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

  • Reminder for 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 29, 2023

    ByRosemary

    Exodus 22:  Thus says the LORD: "You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.

    1 Thessalonians 1: And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit, so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

    Matthew 22: He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
