Communion.   First Sunday without masks but all with the vaccine.

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.

Adapted from a Prayer and Refection by Sister Jean Amore, CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, New York

Brent, our Souls Harbor Man.

How did these two get by security!

Job 38:  Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!

2 Corinthians 5:  So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

Mark 4:They were filled with great awe and said to one another,  “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?”
