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.

     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

    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.

    Acts of the Apostles 11:  With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all.

    1 John 5:  Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

    John 20:  Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe."
