    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Reminder for 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 16, 2024

    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.”
