Rosemary's Blessing:
 

A Summer Blessing

 

May you walk with God

This summer

In whatever you do

Wherever you go

 

Walking with God means…

Walking with honesty

And with courage,

Walking with love

And respect

And concern for the feelings of others

 

May you talk to God

This summer

And every day and

In every situation

 

Talking with God means…

Praying words of praise

For the beauty of creation

Saying prayers of thanks

For friends and good times,

Asking God's help

In all your decisions

Expressing sorrow

When you have failed

 

May you talk with God

Every day. Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     I thank you God for this most amazing day:

    for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and

    for a blue true dream of sky; and

    for everything which is natural

    which is infinite

    which is yes.

  • Reminder for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 19, 2025

    Isaiah 62:  No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called Ruined. You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married), Because God delights in you and your land will be like a wedding celebration.

    1 Corinthians 12:  All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.

    John 2:  This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
