The Kiss of Peace

 

 

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

What is going on in Our Catholic World

1. Nothing this week.

 

 

Thanks for all the help you give us, Buddy.

 

 True?

Those who believe that they can be certain of their salvation because they have indulgence letters will be eternally damned, together with their teachers.

Martin Luther, #32 of his 95 Theses posted on the bulletin board of the church in Wittenburg, 1517 (5th Centennial year)

 

 Peace, Everybody.

 

See you Sunday.

JSM Mission-Faith Statement

Help create a Catholic Community that welcomes all God’s People, provides for and challenges spiritual and total growth.

Reaches out to help people who are disadvantaged and make the world we live in a better place to live.

 

Genesis 2: The Man said, "Finally! Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh! Name her Woman for she was made from Man."   Therefore a man leaves his father and mother and embraces his wife. They become one flesh.

Hebrews 2:  Since the One who saves and those who are saved have a common origin, Jesus doesn't hesitate to treat them as family.

Mark 10:  In the original creation, God made male and female to be together.  Because of this, a man leaves father and mother, and in marriage he becomes one flesh with a woman – no longer two individuals, but forming a new unity.

Another Reminder for 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 6, 2024

Micah 5 :  … from you shall come forth for me one who is to be the ruler in Israel;

Hebrews 10 :   … behold, I come to do your will, O God.

Luke 1:  Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

 

Thanks……

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.

 

Sister Jean Amore, CSJ, Principal, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.

 

Sirach 15:  If you trust in God, you too shall live, …

Corinthians 2:  What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,…

Matthew 5:  I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
