Rosemary's Blessing:  

From Pope Francis’ twitter:

Do not judge, Christ tells us. How many times do we not only pass along gossip or rumors, but consider ourselves justified when we are harsh in our judgement of others. We can be indulgent with ourselves, but inflexible with others.

    2 Maccabees 7:  It is my choice to die at the hands of men with the hope God gives of being raised up by him;…

    2 Thessalonians 2:  May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.

    Luke 20:  They can no longer die, for they are like angels; and they are the children of God because they are the ones who will rise.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    The Christmas Story will always be the story of Emmanuel, of God-with-us, always and everywhere, in the everyday, in the chaos, in the flight into exile, in the love between a man and a woman and in the birth of a child. 

    It is the story of God who heals, empowers and loves us just as we are – in our greatness and our foolishness. 

    As we anticipate the joy, the love and the peace that are God's Christmas gifts to us, let us receive them with gratitude and be sure to unfold them and share them especially where they need to be more visible.
