Reminder for 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 23, 2023

Isaiah 50:The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced;

Philippians 2: Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance,  he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Another Reminder for Palm Sunday, April 13, 2025

Proverbs 8:   … then was I beside him as his craftsman, and I was his delight day by day;

Romans 5:  … because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through  the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

John 16:  But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it.
For without we cannot survive.

Hildegard of Bingen  (September 16, 1098 – September 17, 1179)

Genesis 22:  . . . I will bless you abundantly and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; . . .

Romans 8:  . . . if God is for us, who can be against us?

Mark 1: Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.  And he was transfigured before them, . . . 

 

Mark 11:  Hosanna!   Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Isaiah 50: I gave my back to those who beat me,  my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;  my face I did not shield  from buffets and spitting.

Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself,  taking the form of a slave,   coming in human likeness;  and found human in appearance,  he humbled himself,  becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Mark 14: The Passion of the Lord

 

 

Isaiah 6:  "Here I am," I said; "send me!"

1 Corinthians 15:   But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

From Pope Francis’ twitter:

Do not judge, Christ tells us. How many times do we not only pass along gossip or rumors, but consider ourselves justified when we are harsh in our judgement of others. We can be indulgent with ourselves, but inflexible with others.

 

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.
