2nd Sunday of Easter, April 12, 2026

Acts 2:  All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need.
1 Peter 1:  Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
John 20:  Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”

    Wisdom 12:  And you taught your people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind;
    and you gave your children good ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins.
    Romans 8:  The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
    Matthew 13:  Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.  While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.

    We thank you for the turning of the seasons

    and the long days and the short nights,

    for blessing us with summertime,

    with sunlight and heat, and with sand and surf.

     Grant that we may use well our summer respite

    for rest and recreation and recollection,

    and protect us and all those we love this summer.

    Rosemary’s Blessing

    May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

    May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

    May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

    May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

    Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

    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.
