What do you think, Emma & Victoria?  Has this not been an extra special day?  See you next week.

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.

Rosemary’s Blessing

 Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number,

 Animals and plants and microbes beyond count,

 And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,

 Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this

 week as you have been to us.

Recently he was successful in getting disability and some significant compensation.  Last Sunday at Mass he gave the ministry a check for $15,000. I and everyone was quite moved, never expecting or asking for return payment.  The board has suggested that we place this amount into a money market. We will use the interest and save the principle for emergencies. Thanks first to our member and secondly to you all for your non-stop generosity!
