27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 5, 2025

ByRosemary October 5, 2025

Habakkuk 1: For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; if it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late.
2 Timothy 1: I remind you, to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
Luke 17: “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

Connie reading from the Book of Habakkuk

Rosemary’s Blessing:

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

and to treat all I meet today with dignity.

Rosemary's Blessing:

Oh, Lord,

Lent goes by too quickly, as does my Life.

Help me to take advantage of all the opportunities You give Me.

Don't let me be so caught up in the Demands of the Day,

The Phone, the Doorbell, The Computer

That I lose Touch with You and the

Invitation to Love which You Always offer Me.

Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

Life is not a journey to the grave

With the intention of arriving safely

In a pretty and well preserved body,

But rather to skid in broadside,

Thoroughly used up,

Totally worn out,

And loudly proclaiming

—WOW—What a Ride!
