Rosemary's Blessing: 

Father,

We thank you for our political freedom. 

Help us never to take it for granted and to strive that freedom

be experienced by everyone in our land, 

especially the poor and the oppressed  and eventually  by all mankind.

Rosemary’s Blessing

 We are the instruments of God’s gentle, motherly embrace. 

Let us make of ourselves a sanctuary

where God’s motherly love can embrace at least one person

who is lost, lonely or forgotten in our world

amid their struggles and despair. 

Come Lord Jesus, work through me.

Rosemary's Blessing:    

Grant us, Lord God,

A vision of your world as your

love would have it: 

A world where the weak are protected,

and none go hungry or poor;

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.

Gilberto Delgado sent in this info that might help those of you who have had difficulty with one or more of our file attachments on the blog:

I heard that some in our community are having problems downloading the articles in the blog.

I do not know if they realize that the files are Word files.  So when they key on the highlighted titles, a Word file is downloaded to their computers.

The file name will probably appear on their desktops as a Word executable file.  They must them key or double key on that to bring up the program Word and the file contents.

It is a little different than most emails, since most of them are just text files in the email content.
