    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    We are called to be co-partners and co-workers in the unfolding of God’s vision. Our faith brings us to a deep truth: we are made in the image and likeness of a God who is unconditional and unfathomable love. Jesus lives and teaches this idea of God that surpasses all other concepts of God. Our God is intimately close to us and in love with us. We abide in God.

    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.

  • Epiphany of the Lord, January 5, 2025

    Isaiah 60:  Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you.

    Ephesians 3:  The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God.

    Matthew 2:  They entered the house and saw the child in the arms of Mary, his mother. Overcome, they kneeled and worshiped him. Then they opened their luggage and presented gifts: gold, frankincense, myrrh.

    to release the oppressed,
    to rebuild the nations,
    to bring peace among all peoples,
    and to make a little music with the heart…
