Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

Gethsemane            by Mary Oliver

The grass never sleeps.
Or the roses.
Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.
Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.
The cricket has such splendid fringe on its feet,
and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.
Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe the wind wound itself
into a silver tree, and didn't move, maybe
the lake far away, where once he walked as on a
blue pavement,
lay still and waited, wild awake.
Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
so utterly human, knowing this too
must be a part of the story.

Good Sunday afternoon everybody (hoping you are healthy and peaceful),

 

Here is the link to the Mass this morning.  It was a special service and one I hope will fill you with hope and appreciation.  Hopefully, next week we can be live but we shall see.  In the meantime have a healthy and peaceful week.
