All Saints Day, November 2, 2025

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.  That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne.
1 John 3:  For this is the original message we heard: We should love each other.  Let’s not just talk about love.  Let’s practice real love.
 Matthew 5:  When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside.  Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed ones, climbed with him.  Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions.

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.

    Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
    1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
     Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “Rivers do not drink their own water;
    trees do not eat their own fruit;
    the sun does not shine on itself
    and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
    Living for others is a rule of nature.
    We are born to help each other.
    No matter how difficult it is.
    Life is good when you are happy
    but much better when others are happy because of you.
    Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
    problems are a sign that we are strong and
    prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
    If we can acknowledge these truths and
    condition our hearts and minds, our lives will
    be more meaningful,
    different and
    worthwhile.” 

    Pope Francis
