Rosemary's Blessing:  

 God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

and anyone that I have hurt

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

and to treat all I meet today with dignity

Invitation: Rosemary & I invite you all to our 2nd anniversary party, May 5, Fairview Farms (same place as last year), Parker & Central, northeast corner, ca. 6:00. We will have some couples renew their vows, covered dish, hors d’oeuvres, and music for dancing. Also, the slide show The Great East African trip.

From Kovatis: “Thank You” just doesn’t capture my appreciation, or that of the Groundwork Board, for your hard work and the enthusiasm you brought to the Operation A.C.T. Clean-up last Saturday. Based upon my rough calculation, we removed between 2 and 3 tons of trash from the Rochester Lakes area of the Great Trinity Forest.

Operation A.C.T. is a prime example of what a group of interested and dedicated citizens can do to “leave a place in better shape than they found it”. Please accept our sincerest thanks for helping us improve the Great Trinity Forest for the citizens of Dallas. You can be assured that this will be an ongoing mission for Groundwork Dallas.

(In a separate bulletin I will send pictures; too much now.)

Next Mass: April 15

Have a Great Week.
