Gilberto Delgado sent in this info that might help those of you who have had difficulty with one or more of our file attachments on the blog:

I heard that some in our community are having problems downloading the articles in the blog.

I do not know if they realize that the files are Word files.  So when they key on the highlighted titles, a Word file is downloaded to their computers.

The file name will probably appear on their desktops as a Word executable file.  They must them key or double key on that to bring up the program Word and the file contents.

It is a little different than most emails, since most of them are just text files in the email content.

Rosemary's Blessing:

May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life.

May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted.

May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally.

And may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves.

Amen.

From a  prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.

Rosemary's Blessing

May you treasure wisely this jeweled, gilded time

And cherish each day as an extra grace

Whose heedless loss would be a tragic crime.

In today’s tasks may you find God’s tender face

And may the Lord of the Dance bless you

As He invites you to the dance of the hollowed present.

Hello Everyone.  I am happy to report that John had his surgery on Friday.  Everything went well and he is a happy camper.  He walked down the hall tonight with his walker and NO pain.  He comes home tomorrow.  

Special thanks to Mike Carrell  who spent the day in the hospital with John waiting for the surgery.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

 May God grant you the strength and faith to

Count your blessings, not your crosses;

Count your gains not your losses.

Count your joys not your woes;

Count your friends not your foes.

Count your health not your wealth;

And love your neighbor as much as yourself. 

An Irish Blessing
