Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024

Acts of the Apostles 10: You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power.  He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Colossians 3:  When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

John 20:  Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.   For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.

    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.

    Acts of the Apostles 2:  Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father and poured him forth, as you see and hear .

    1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you….

    Luke 24:  "The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!"  Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

    Rejoice in life.

    Acts of the Apostles 15: It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities,  namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats  of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage.

    Revelation 21:  The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, tor the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb.

    a world where the riches of creation are

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Amen.

    Ezekiel 2:   Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.'   They are a defiant bunch. Whether or not they listen, at least they'll know that a prophet's been here.

    2 Corinthians 12:  At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that,  and then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

    Mark 6:    Jesus told them, "A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child."
