Ecclesiastes 1:   … vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!

Colossians 3:  Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.

Luke 12:  Thus will it be for all who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich in what matters to God.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

    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.

    12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 21, 2026

    ByRosemary

    Jeremiah 20:  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
    Romans 5:  But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
    Matthew 10:  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

     


    Serenity is not the ability to accommodate wrongs; it is the ability to point them out without apology. “Not to be angered by injustice,” Eknath Easwaran writes, “is a lack of sensitivity.”
