Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Oh God of humor enable us to laugh at your mischievous plans. 

Life can become serious during these cold winter months, and our hearts can become heavy and burdened with responsibilities, decisions and trying to keep everyone happy. 

Let us look for the funny things that happen, the unexpected surprise that catches us off-guard, along with the incongruences that we encounter. 

Smile, snicker, giggle, give a belly laugh, and spontaneously guffaw. 

You will be amazed at how God works through laughter.

 

Sr. Mary Elizabeth Schweiger

Rosemary's Blessing: 

As we begin the new year of 2011,

May our relationship with God continue to grow, 

May our days be filled with blessings of all sorts,

May those we love be near us in spirit if not in person,

May we be forever grateful for all we have,

And may we always be alert for opportunities

to share our gifts and blessings with others.
