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.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this coming Saturday. We are excited by the prospect of leaving the Rochester Park Lakes area in their best shape in many years. If you are not able to join us, we will miss you but invite you to visit the site any time your schedule allows. We will certainly invite you to participate in our future projects and keep you apprised of our future endeavors.

• For those of you who will be participating on Saturday, here are a few final instructions/recommendations:
• The registration tables will open at 8:00 a.m. at the Rochester Park pavilion. I have attached a copy of the driving directions.
• We plan to have all the work crews deployed by 9:00 a.m., but will assign volunteers right up to 11:00 a.m.
• Please wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants.
• Wear sturdy work shoes or boots (Considering the recent rains, you may want to wear galoshes since the areas in and around the Forest may still be wet.)
• Bring work gloves if you have them. We will have a limited number of gloves for loan.
• We will have plenty of water and other beverages, but you may want to bring a water bottle to carry to your work site.
• Lunch will be served at noon.

Thank you again for offering to help us improve this wonderful area in Dallas. See you Saturday.

Regards,

Ron Kovatis

Sirach 35:  The Lord is a God of justice, who  knows no favorites.

2 Timothy 4:  But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear it.

Luke 18:  I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

Prayer begins with the realization that I am loved by God as I am.  God’s love is based on nothing and, therefore, is the most basic  and secure fact in my life.  I simply let myself be loved by God.  This is not so much as activity of mine but a passivity in which I let God’s love soak in and permeate my whole being.
