Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

Welcome to the New Year

As you would a friend;

One who brings twelve shining gifts

To last until the year’s end.

Harmony with others,

Faith in each new day;

All the kindness you can spare,

Goodwill in words you say.

Compassion for earth’s creatures,

And hope for all in need;

Make peace with all of nature,

Makes tolerance your creed,

Thoughtfulness and sharing,

Love spread far and near;

A thankfulness for living

To end a perfect year.

 

Praise for the New Year by Sheila Forsyth

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.

John 20:  Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.

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

 

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

Acts of the Apostles 10:  While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the word.

1 John 4:  Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.

John 15:  I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy might be complete.

1 Kings17:  'The jar of flour will not run out and the bottle of oil will not become empty before God sends rain on the land and ends this drought."

Hebrews 9:  But instead he sacrificed himself once and for all, summing up all the other sacrifices in this sacrifice of himself, the final solution of sin.

Mark 12:  "All the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford – she gave her all."
