Rosemary's Blessing:  

The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.

 

Sister Jean Amore, CSJ, Principal, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.

 

Ezekiel 2, As the Lord spoke to me, the spirit entered into me and set me on my feet.

Psalm 123, Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy. 

2 Corinthians 12, a thorn in the flesh was given me.

Mark 6, a prophet is not without honor except in his native place.

and help us to strive so that this same freedom

especially the poor and the oppressed,

and eventually by all humankind.

Reminder for 1st Sunday Advent, November 29, 2020

Here are the links for Sunday:

 

Sirach 50:  May he grant you joy of heart and may peace abide among you.

1 Corinthians 1: God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Luke 17:  And one of them,  realizing he had been healed, returned glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.  He was a Samaritan.
