Reminder for Palm Sunday, March 24, 2024

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

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

     

    A Christmas Prayer

    Loving Father, help us to remember the birth
    of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels,
    the gladness of the shepherds,
    and the worship of the wise men.
    Close the door of hate and
    open the door of love all over the world.
    Let kindness come with every gift and
    good desires with every greeting.
    Deliver us from evil by the blessing
    which Christ brings, and teach us to
    be merry with clear hearts.
    May the Christmas morning make us happy
    to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening
    bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts,
    forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen!

    — Robert Louis Stevenson

    Hi, Emma, Happy Easter

     

     

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God

    you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful,

    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

     

    May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like

    God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.

  • 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time, February 14, 2021

    Good Morning Everyone.   Welcome to our celebration of life, peace and friendship.  Happy Valentine's Day.

    You people are so lucky this morning.  It is freezing outside and you can join the Community celebration from your living room.  We also celebrate the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    Guess what this Wednesday is?  Yep, Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.  The most unpleasant season of the Church calendar.  I grew up thinking I was bad and Lent's emphasis on my sinfulness did not do me good.

    I have a February wish.  That we will all get the vaccine this month.

    To start our Sunday celebration, I invite you to go inside, listen to your heart, and listen to your breathing.  What is your blessing this morning, the blessing of your week?  Take a moment to reflect.

    Share Blessings.

     

    Leviticus 13, 1-2, 44-46, If the man is leprous and unclean…

    Psalm 32, I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble.

    1 Corinthians 10, 31-11, 1, Do everything for the glory of God.

    Mark  1, 40-45,  A leper came to Jesus.

    Let us pray to our God      

    To the God of Mary and Joseph,

    To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

     

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

     

    May our hearts forgive without limit.

    May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

    May our needs be few and my living simple.
