Happy New Year, Everybody‍‍ ‍‍

 

"And all shall be well and                                               

 All manner of thing shall be well ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍

When the tongues of flames are in-folded
 Into the crowned knot of fire

 And the fire and the rose are one."

T.S. Eliot

Rosemary's Blessing:

When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away then the work of Christmas begins:

Lord, help us

to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…

Adapted from Work of Christmas Begins by Howard Thurman

Rosemary's final blessing

…and life is still a constant surprise to me.  We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose.  Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always drama, if not tragedy.  But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

 

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan

 

Wisdom 7:  I prayed, and prudence was given me;  I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.

Hebrews 4: Nothing and no one is impervious to God's Word.

Mark 10:  Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me.
