15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 16, 2023

1 Kings 19:  Exhausted, he fell asleep under the lone broom bush. Suddenly an angel shook him awake and said, "Get up and eat!"

Ephesians 4:  Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.

John 6:  I am the Bread of Life.  Your ancestors ate the manna bread in the desert and died.   But now here is Bread that truly comes down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread will not die, ever.

 

 

Joshua 5:  Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you.

2 Corinthians 5:   Brothers and sisters: Whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away: behold, new things have come.

Luke 13:  But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.

The old streets of Honfleur and someone we know

Rosemary's Blessing:  

God,

Bless anyone who has asked me to pray for them

and anyone that I have promised to pray for.

Bless anyone that I cannot get along with

And anyone that cannot get along with me.

Bless the person who has hurt me deeply

and anyone that I have hurt.

Bless the person that I cannot forgive

and anyone that cannot forgive me.

Grant me the grace to live as a person of peace today

and to treat all I meet today with dignity

Extra, Extra, I am seeing a Light at the end  of the tunnel!

 

Rosemary & I got our vaccines today at the Fair Park Super Center.  I phoned John Cade, he raced down, and he and his mother in law got the vaccine, too.

 

As of today you need no appointment.  Just be 75 or older & ID.  I will verify that you are all passed that age.

 

It took us 1 hour waiting in the car to get in the Fair Park gate 5 check point.  Once in, it was really well organized and in 2 1/2 hours we walked out vaccinated.

The easy & quick way to get there: 75 South, I30 East, look for the Ferris wheel on your right, and you are there.

 

Rosemary & I wanted to pass the word as soon as possible.   Rosemary was given this tip yesterday afternoon, Wednesday by a neighbor.   No wonder we love this neighborhood!

Happy Birthday today, Jan Keszler!

 

Am I actually seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

Paul gets a cookie for his birthday

Rosemary's Blessing:

 

Lord Jesus Christ,

who are called the Prince of Peace,

who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,

who so often said, “Peace to you,”

grant us peace.

Make all men and women witnesses of

truth, justice, and brotherly love.

Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.

Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee

and defend the great gift of peace.

May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters.

May longed-for peace blossom forth

and reign always over us all.

Amen.

Prayer for Peace– by St. John XXIII

 

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.

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

Acts of the Apostles 2:  Repent  and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 2:  When he was insulted, he returned no insult; when he suffered, he did not threaten; instead, he handed himself over to the one who judges justly.

John 10:  "I came so that they might  have life, and have it more abundantly."
