22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 31, 2025

Sirach 3:  My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.   Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,  and you will find favor with God.   

Hebrews 12:  No, you have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and countless angels in festal gathering, and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, …

Luke 14:  Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

     

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

    Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week    

     May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
    With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.

    May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
    The kindness you spread keep returning to you.

    May the friendships you make be those which endure,
    And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.

    And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
    May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

    Grace E. Easley
