Rosemary's Blessing:  

O Lord, you mark the journey of life with change. Once again we witness your creation moving from one season to the other. Change is your instrument of growth that brings us to a deeper relationship with you. May your Word be the lantern that guides the roads of change in our lives. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Acts of the Apostles 6:  The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, …

1 Peter 2:  You are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

John 14:  " … Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father."

Community Activities:  

ROMEO MEET: Friday, March 3, Jason's Deli, Collin Creek Mall, west side of Central, 1:00.  Welcome all wakos,  you will fit right in.  

JULIET LUNCHEON, (aka.,just us ladies into eating together),      

Juliet’s Luncheon Ladies will meet Friday, March 3 at 1:00 P.M. at Ocean Seafood and Grill.  For all who have not been there the food is very good and reasonable.  It is a BYOB.  I thought this would be a good choice because it will be Lent and some of us do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent.  Ocean is at 3829 W. Spring Creek Pkwy., Plano, behind Chic-Fil-A which is on Coit Rd. (Spring Creek and Coit).  Please let me know if you can join us.  They do have other choices besides seafood.   Ron & Marilyn Ackerman [rmackerman5@gmail.com]

Rosemary's Blessing:

 

May those that love us, love us. And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts.  And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.

No Mass Celebration again this Sunday, March 22, 2020

Sorry Everybody.  

 

Please pass the word to anyone you think  of.

I will miss you all, John

 

During this time, you will receive the blog on Saturday (instead of Monday).  It will include the three readings for the Mass, plus John's Homily #3 on Matthew.

We thought by doing this you could celebrate The Word together as a family on Sunday mornings.  John will also leave you with a question to ponder on.

Any other ideas, please let us know.

 

 

 

I miss you girls, Harper & Betsy.

 

 

On the lighter side:

 

 

People have asked about their donations to the Community during this time. Should you like to make a donation at this time, you can send a check to the house (6107 Tulip Ln., Dallas 75230).  Thanks and John will send you a "thank you" note.
