2nd Sunday of Easter, April 12, 2026

May the blessing of light be upon you, 

Light on the outside, Light on the inside.

With God's sunlight shining on you,

May your heart glow with warmth,

Like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike.

Denni reading from the Great Prophet, Isaiah.

Rosemary's Blessing

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Schweiger
