22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 3, 2023

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.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

May an abundance of gratitude burst forth in our minds and hearts as we remember all the blessings in our life

May we slow our hurried pace these days so we can be aware of, and enjoy, what we can too easily take for granted

May we always be open, willing and ready to share our blessings with others and never forget the God who loves us lavishly and unconditionally

And  may we remember that our thanksgiving is incomplete until we pay it forward by doing for others what they cannot do for themselves

Amen.

 

From a prayer by Sr. Jean Amore CSJ,  Sacred Heart Academy,  Hempstead, N.Y.

 

We will celebrate the Mass for  Ash Wednesday on Sunday.

 

Joel 2:  For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment.

2 Corinthians 5:  We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us.

Matthew 6:  But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

Welcome to the New Year

As you would a friend;

One who brings twelve shining gifts

To last until the year’s end.

Harmony with others,

Faith in each new day;

All the kindness you can spare,

Goodwill in words you say.

Compassion for earth’s creatures,

And hope for all in need;

Make peace with all of nature,

Makes tolerance your creed,

Thoughtfulness and sharing,

Love spread far and near;

A thankfulness for living

To end a perfect year.

 

Praise for the New Year by Sheila Forsyth
