15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 14, 2024

Amos 7:   But Amos stood up to Amaziah: "I never set up to be a preacher, never had plans to be a preacher. I raised cattle and I pruned trees.  Then God took me off the farm and said, 'Go preach to my people Israel.'

Ephesians 1:  Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people – free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free!

Mark 6:   Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;   right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

     

    A Christmas Prayer

    Loving Father, help us to remember the birth
    of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels,
    the gladness of the shepherds,
    and the worship of the wise men.
    Close the door of hate and
    open the door of love all over the world.
    Let kindness come with every gift and
    good desires with every greeting.
    Deliver us from evil by the blessing
    which Christ brings, and teach us to
    be merry with clear hearts.
    May the Christmas morning make us happy
    to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening
    bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
    forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen!

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. 

    It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. 

    As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.
