    Rosemary's Blessing

    May you find truth in the week’s smallest grace

    And hope in the week’s heaviest cross.

    May you learn to walk a little bit slower

    And to grow each day in hope and trust,

    And may the God of new beginnings

    Grant you a week of love and peace.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Gethsemane by Mary Oliver

    The grass never sleeps.
    Or the roses.
    Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.

    Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.

    The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
    and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
    and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.

    Jesus said, wait with me.

    And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn’t move,
    maybe the lake far away, where once he walked as on a blue pavement, lay still and waited, wild awake.

    Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
    keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
    so utterly human, knowing this too
    must be a part of the story.

     

    John Stack Ministries meets on Sunday for Mass at
    9:30 at the ArtCentre of Plano,
