22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 30, 2026

Jeremiah 20:  I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more.  But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.
Romans 12:  Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
Matthew 16:  Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.  For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it.
For without we cannot survive.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Be the One

    Jesus, thank you for loving me so much.
    Help me to love others as you do.
    When someone is lonely, help me to be the one to be kind.
    When others are left out, help me to be the one to include them.
    When someone is sad, help me be the one to bring joy.
    Show me your face in every person I meet.
    Let me be the one to console You and my neighbor,
    with kindness, a smile, prayers and love.
    Give me courage to “be the one”
    who builds up the body of Christ today. Amen.
