Important Notice

Ezekiel 34: Thus says the Lord God: From now on, I myself am the shepherd.  As shepherds go after their flocks when they get scattered, I’m going after my sheep.   I’ll rescue them from all the places they’ve been scattered. 

James:  You can no more show me your works apart from your faith, than I can show you my faith apart from my works.  Faith and works, works and faith—they fit together hand in glove.

Luke 17: Whenever you did one of these things to the least of my sisters and brothers—that was me.  You did it to me.

Rosemary's Blessing:

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas. 

Keep me

from rushing through the season, but missing the Way . . .

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

Gethsemane            by Mary Oliver

The grass never sleeps.
Or the roses.
Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.
Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.
The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.
Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself
into a silver tree, and didn't move, maybe
the lake far away, where once he walked as on a
blue pavement,
lay still and waited, wild awake.
Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
so utterly human, knowing this too
must be a part of the story.

Mark 11:  Hosanna!   Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Isaiah 50: I gave my back to those who beat me,  my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;  my face I did not shield  from buffets and spitting.

Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself,  taking the form of a slave,   coming in human likeness;  and found human in appearance,  he humbled himself,  becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Mark 14: The Passion of the Lord

 

 

Revelation 7:   “These are those who come from the great tribulation, and they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb.”

1John 3:  What marvelous love the Father has extended to us!  Just look at it—we’re called children of God! 

Matthew 5:  Whenever you did one of these things to someone. who is overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.”
