Ezekiel 37:  Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and have you rise from them, O my people!
Romans 8:  If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit dwelling in you.
John 11:   And when he had said this, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”  The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth.

The Kiss of Peace


Rosemary’s Blessing:

God of love, show us our place in this world
as channels of your love
for all the creatures of this earth,
for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.
Enlighten those who possess power and money
that they may avoid the sin of indifference,
that they may love the common good, advance the weak,
and care for this world in which we live.
The poor and the earth are crying out.
O Lord, seize us with our power and light,
help us to protect all life,
to prepare for a better future,
for the coming of your Kingdom
of justice, peace, love and beauty.
Praise be to you!
Amen.

Pope Francis – It is part of his important encyclical on saving the sacred Earth, Laudato Sí.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week 

     

    But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

    1.  The whole process since Wednesday A.M. has been amazingly efficient and pain free (except when I forgot the pain med when moving from the hospital to the house).

    2.  I can walk with a walker, fairly easily & every day more easily.

    3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  After a day of this, I am wiped out by 7:00. 

    4.  Thanks for everything.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Loving God,

    Enable us to grow in the Benedictine spirit

    In ways that make us

    Compassionate co-creators of a world in process,

    Creative keepers of the human community,

    Loving listeners to the heartbeat of the world,

    Caring sisters and brothers to its wounded

    And bringers of peace to a world in distress.
