The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 8, 2026

Isaiah 58:  Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the  hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.
1 Corinthians 2:  I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Matthew 5: “… Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:
Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,
Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,
Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.
Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,
So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,
Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.
Ken Philipps

    Rosemary's Blessing:                                    

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
