May we never take our freedom for granted

and help us to strive so that this same freedom

especially the poor and the oppressed,

and eventually by all humankind.

Isaiah 40:  Like a shepherd he feeds his flock; in his arms he gathers the lambs, carrying them in his bosom, and leading the ewes with care.

2 Peter 3:  But according to his promise we await new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Mark 1:  Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way.  A voice of one crying out in the desert: "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths."

 

Sirach 50:  May he grant you a wise heart and abide with you in peace;

1 Corinthians 1:  Every time I think of you – and I think of you often! –

Luke 7:  One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God.

 

 

Another Reminder for the Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 247, 2024

Amos 8:  The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: Never will I forget a thing they have done!

1 Timothy 2:  For there is one God.  There is also one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as ransom for all. 

Luke 16:  The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones;

The Kiss of Peace

 

 

Rosemary's Blessing:  

… 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.

"Troubadour: A Missionary Magazine," published by the Franciscan Missionary Society

 

 

 

A short note to let you know that Ken Cramer passed, today Sunday, April 3rd.  Please keep Cindy and the family in your prayers.

 

 

Isaiah 43:  … for I put water in the desert and rivers in the wasteland for my chosen people to drink.

Philippians 3:   … I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus.

John 8:  Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you.  Go, and from now on do not sin any more."
