Reminder for 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 3, 2023

Jeremiah 20:  I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more. But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; …

Romans 12: … that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and  perfect.

Matthew 16:  For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

    Isaiah 62:  No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration.

    1 Corinthians 12:  All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Thank you Lord for giving me

    The brand new year ahead

    Help me live the way I should

    As each new day I tread.

     

    Give me gentle wisdom

    That I might help a friend

    Give me strength and courage

    So a shoulder I may lend.

     

    The year ahead is empty

    Help me fill it with good things

    Each new day filled with joy

    And the happiness it brings.

     

    Please give the leaders of our world

    A courage born of peace

    That they might lead us gently

    And all the fighting cease.

     

    Please give to all upon this earth

    A heart that’s filled with love

    A gentle happy way to live

    With your blessings from above.

    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

    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.
