Revelation 1:  Do not be afraid.  I am the first and the last, the one who lives.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

We are called to be co-partners and co-workers in the unfolding of God’s vision. Our faith brings us to a deep truth: we are made in the image and likeness of a God who is unconditional and unfathomable love. Jesus lives and teaches this idea of God that surpasses all other concepts of God. Our God is intimately close to us and in love with us. We abide in God.

    Jeremiah 20:  I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more.  But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.
    Romans 12:  Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
    Matthew 16:  Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.  For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

     


    Nothing we attempt to do well is lost. It is always a sign of either     the possible or the desirable to someone else. “Although only a small fraction of those who try to scale the heights of human achievement arrive anywhere close to the summit,” Chardin wrote, “it is imperative that there be a multitude of climbers. Otherwise the summit may not be reached by anybody.
    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    ByRosemary

    Acts of the Apostles 2:  Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

    1 Corinthians 12:  To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

    John 20:  Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.
