True?
But my heart is not weary. It's light and it's free. I've got nothing but affection for all those who've sailed with me.
Good Morning, My Dearest Izzy, and welcome to our community. We gather here this morning to baptize you into the the Catholic Community. Thanks for coming.
Readings:

Today's Homily will be the baptism ceremony of Isaura Barbara Fleming,(Izzy), Daughter of Megan & TC Fleming.
This Baptism says that you belong to a community which loves you and believes in a God who loves you now and will love you forever.
Ezekiel 17: It shall put forth branches and bear fruit, and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind shall dwell beneath it, every winged thing in the shade of its boughs.
2 Corinthians 5: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.
Mark 4: It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.”
Barbara Wittek heard from her friend whose grandson, Ford we have been praying for. She asks for even more prayers for Ford.
Another Reminder for 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 16, 2024
Here are the links for Sunday:
For Zoom ( the video conference, same as last week )
Ezekiel 47: This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh. Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh. 1 Corinthians 3: Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? John 2: He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

Rosemary’s Blessing:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch, Be yours to bear it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow
In Flanders Field.
IN FLANDERS FIELDS By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
The Answer (One of many poems written in response to In Flanders Fields)
In Flanders Field the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom;
While up above, like Eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom
In Flanders Field.
Sleep on ye brave! The shrieking shell,
The quaking trench, the startling yell,
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not; for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is well.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep the faith to fight it through
To crush the foe, or sleep with you
In Flanders Field
The Answer, by Lt. J. A. Armstrong of Beloit.Wisconsin.
