Rosemary’s Blessing:  A Prayer for Easter Sunday (from A Book of Irish American Blessings and Prayers by Andrew Greeley)

Oh God who bestows life prodigous and of whose abundant graciousness the rabbit and the egg and the lily are symbols, renew our life of faith on this morning of joy and help us to sing the alleluia with confidence and hope that some day, just like Jesus, we too will rise again.  We ask this in the name of the Risen Jesus.

 Have a Great Week, J.S    (214-783-0443)

Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week: 

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

May the day never burden.

May dawn find hope in your heart,

Approaching your new  day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.

May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
