Rosemary's Blessing:  

…and life is still a constant surprise to me.  We never know what will happen next, what we will see, and what important person will come into our life, or what important person we will lose.  Life is change, constant change, and unless we are lucky enough to find comedy in it, change is nearly always drama, if not tragedy.  But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

  • 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 16, 2020–Special info on this Sunday’s Celebration

     

     

    A note from John Cade:

    In the summer of 1956, when still in the seminary, I spent a week at the Trappist monastery north of Atlanta, outside Conyers, Georgia.  I got to experience how Trappist monks end every single day, expressing their devotion to Mary, Jesus’ mother—a hundred men standing together and chanting in Latin, Salve Regina, Hail Holy Queen.  August 15th is one of the days we have traditionally honored Mary.  I will chant this hymn in her honor at the end of Sunday Mass.

     

    SALVE REGINA.                                                   HAIL HOLY QUEEN.                                           

    Salve Regina, mater misericordiae:  vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.

    Hail holy queen, mother of mercy; Our life, our sweetness and our hope.

     

    Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.  Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

     To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.  To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

     

    Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.

    Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us;

     

    Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium, ostende.

    And after this exile, show us the blessed fruit of you womb, Jesus.

     

    O Clemens.   O pia.      O dulcis Virgo Maria.

    O clement,   O loving,   O sweet Virgin Mary.

    True?

    The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention….A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.
