Sunday Announcements, March 23, 2008

Isaiah 11:  Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them.
Romans 15:  May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 3:  I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I.  I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Prayer for Good Humor
by St. Thomas More

Grant me, O Lord, good digestion, and also something to digest.
Grant me a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.
Grant me a simple soul that knows to treasure all that is good
and that doesn’t frighten easily at the sight of evil,
but rather finds the means to put things back in their place.
Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumblings, sighs and laments,
nor excess of stress, because of that obstructing thing called “I.”
Grant me, O Lord, a sense of good humor.
Allow me the grace to be able to take a joke to discover in life a bit of joy,
and to be able to share it with others.

 

John Stack Ministries meets on Sunday for Mass at

Rosemary's Blessing

I, God, am in your midst.

Whoever knows me can never fall.

Not in the heights, nor the depths, nor in the breadths.

For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.

with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.

We are to work with it.

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
Amen.

It is there for each and every one of us.

Bulletin 2 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

1.  Back operation date, 12/28/18

2.  Spinal surgeon, Dr. Jones-Quaidoo.  Check the September, 2018 issue of D Magazine.

3.  How did all this come about?  The best answer to me is back packing with an extra heavy pack, an observation submitted by Ron Kovatis, my Best Man in 2005 (Nobody else would take the job).   I have a refinement of Ron's observation, thanks to Beth, namely, during the  last two years I backpacked the cincture-belt around my waist stretched & I lost some weight, with the result that I carried the weight not on my waist, but on my shoulders, pushing down on my lumbar and spine.
