    Ezekiel 17: It shall put forth branches and bear fruit, and become a majestic cedar.  Birds of every kind shall dwell beneath it, every winged thing in the shade of its boughs.

    2 Corinthians 5: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,  so that each may receive recompense, according to what he did in the body, whether good or evil.

    Mark 4: It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth.  But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.”

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,

    you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

     

    Continue to bless and guide these holy men

    you have given to us in our lives.

     

    Support them in their call

    to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

     

    May their witness of faith and love

    shine from them and on their children and families

    giving hope and encouragement to all.

     

    Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.

    Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

     

    Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches

    who have shown us love and support.

     

    For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,

    give them your loving touch of healing

    consoling them with your gentle care.

     

    For those fathers who have gone before us,

    bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;

    bring them the fullness of union with you

    and communion with us as we remember their love for us. Amen.

  • The Baptism of the Lord January 11 2026

    ByRosemary

    Isaiah 42:  Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit;
    Acts of the Apostles 10:     Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered
    in the house of Cornelius, saying:  “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
    Matthew 3: After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”


    When we learn to see beyond what we have been told to see, we take our place among the world of adults. Then we are obliged to take responsibility for the consequences of our own actions.
