Revelation 7:   “These are those who come from the great tribulation, and they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb.”

1John 3:  What marvelous love the Father has extended to us!  Just look at it—we’re called children of God! 

Matthew 5:  Whenever you did one of these things to someone. who is overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.”

Rosemary's Blessing:

Gracious God inspire us with the hope in the gift of shalom, the gift of wholeness and the promise of your presence.

Give wisdom to seek nonviolence as an answer to the violence of our lives and world.

Give us courage to seek wholeness in a fractured and divided world, to find reconciliation rather than revenge, to abandon the instruments of violence and death and entrust our lives, our homes and our families to you.

May your presence fill us and others with the thirst for unity, wholeness, and the desire to see all people valued as created in your image.

May we and others receive your shalom, that we might be faithful instruments of your love.

Blessed be your name forever,

Amen.

Rabbi Andrew M. Paley, senior rabbi with Temple Shalom, Dallas. He emailed this letter to his congregation in 2018 after a gunman shot members of the Tree of Life Synagogue. He gave The Dallas Morning News permission to publish it.

    Isaiah 35:  Springs of water will burst out in the wilderness, streams flow in the desert.   Hot sands will become a cool oasis, thirsty ground a splashing fountain. 

    James 2: Listen, dear friends. Isn't it clear by now that God operates quite differently? He chose the world's down-and-out as the kingdom's first citizens, with full rights and privileges. This kingdom is promised to anyone who loves God.

    Mark 7:  He took the man off by himself, put his fingers in the man's ears and some spit on the man's tongue.  Then Jesus looked up in prayer, groaned mightily, and commanded, "Ephphatha! – Open up!" And it happened. The man's hearing was clear and his speech plain – just like that.

    IMG_4660

     

    Welcome in Everybody, and welcome to Advent.

     

    Readings:  

    Jeremiah  33, 14-16, “The days are coming”, says the Lord, “when I will fulfill the promise I made.”

    Psalm 25,  To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

    1 Thesssalonians 3,12-4,2, May the Lord make you increase and abound in love.

    Like 21,  25-28, 34-36, There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars.

    One Day on a Walker   

    For a New Appreciation of People, Try a Walker

    This morning I would like to talk about how I came to see again how genuinely good ordinary people can be.  Want a quickie answer to that?  Try lumbar stenosis which leads to lower back pain which leads to life on a walker.

     

    IMG_4654

     

    Another Day on the walker.

     

    Two examples.

    Just after the doctor put me on a walker I had an 8:00 A.M. appointment with my skin doctor.  It was freezing dark, cold, windy, and I had to park in one of those ground level parking areas, like about ½ a mile from the double glass entrance doors. 

    As I hobbled up to the doors, a guy and a woman jumped ahead of me and held the doors open for me.  I was most touched.

     

    IMG_4655

     

    Leo the Candle Man in Action.

     

    The same thing happened when I departed the buildings.

    Other similar events happened all the time we were in Hilton Head.   But a special one took place at an Alabama highway welcome facility just departing Georgia. 

    We stopped in the visitor space to visit the facilities.  As I approached the one story building I noticed that the host of the facility this particular morning was a black guy about 60.  He saw me and was immediately heading toward the entrance doors.

     

    IMG_4657

     

    Buddy reading the Blessing of The Advent Candle.

     

    We arrived about the same moment and I reached out to pull outward the right hand door.  Trouble was, I was coming at it from the left.  I was awkwardly pulling the door with my right hand when the guy opened the door and stepped out to help me. 

    Lucky me, because I was planning on using the door handle with my right hand to balance.  Suddenly the door was open, the handle out of reach, and I am falling over—right into the arms of the welcoming station.  Yes, he caught me and graciously got me righted.

     

    IMG_4685

     

    Yes, Harper, you look really pretty with your new shorter hair.

     

    Then, even at the restroom door, truckers were holding it so I could enter and depart.

    I have been most touched, folks, and feel privileged.

    Any of you seen these people around lately? 

    And the question I would ask normally, I don’t ask now because it is irrelevant.  You do this kind of activity every day.

     

    IMG_4678

     

    Could it be that Leo's most favorite time of our Sunday Mass is the Cupcake of the Week time.
