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.

Acts of the Apostles 5:  Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the apostles.

Revelation 1:  Do not be afraid.  I am the first and the last, the one who lives.

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.

Taken from Our Easter Faith – Making a Difference to Our God by Sister Jean Amore CSJ, Ed.D., Principal, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, NY

 

Isaiah 55: …my word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

Romans 8:  Brothers and sisters: I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.

Matthew 13:  But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.

From Becky Good:  Our Special Thanksgiving Goal

Would it be possible for you to put in the blog the fact that we are having a food drive at Legacy for our neediest families?

We’re actually doing a giveaway Sunday the 22nd so if people wanted to drop off food between now and Friday the 20th we’d appreciate it. It could be anything from a turkey to peanut butter to apples. I think apples keep for a while don’t they? 

Thank you for this consideration. See you Sunday online!

Rosemary's Blessing:

Let us pray to our God     

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

 

May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

 

May our hearts forgive without limit.

May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

May our needs be few and my living simple.
