6th Sunday of Easter May 22, 2020

ByRosemary

Acts of the Apostles 15: It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities,  namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats  of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage.

Revelation 21:  The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, tor the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb.

John 13:  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

Grant us, Lord God,

a vision of your world as your

love would have it: 

a world where the weak are protected,

and none go hungry or poor; 

a world where the riches of creation are

shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

a world where different races and cultures

live in harmony and mutual respect; 

a world where peace is built with justice,

and justice is guided by love.

Give us the inspiration and courage to

build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

    Ezekiel 2:   Tell them, 'This is the Message of God, the Master.'   They are a defiant bunch. Whether or not they listen, at least they'll know that a prophet's been here.

    2 Corinthians 12:  At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that,  and then he told me, My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.

    Mark 6:    Jesus told them, "A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child."

    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    Lord Jesus Christ,

    who are called the Prince of Peace,

    who are yourself our peace and reconciliation,

    who so often said, “Peace to you,”

    grant us peace.

    Make all men and women witnesses of

    truth, justice, and brotherly love.

    Banish from their hearts whatever might endanger peace.

    Enlighten our rulers that they may guarantee

    and defend the great gift of peace.

    May all peoples of the earth become as brothers and sisters.

    May longed-for peace blossom forth

    and reign always over us all.

    Amen.

    Acts of the Apostles 2:  Exalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father and poured him forth, as you see and hear .

    1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you….

    Luke 24:  "The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!"  Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

    Wisdom 6:  Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her.
