12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 21, 2026

Jeremiah 20:  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
Romans 5:  But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
Matthew 10:  Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Loving God, through the gift of our fathers,
you reveal your wisdom, love and care.

Continue to bless and guide these holy men
you have given to us in our lives.

Support them in their call
to lead holy lives of faithfulness, respect and integrity.

May their witness of faith and love
shine from them and on their children and families
giving hope and encouragement to all.

Bless them for all the ways they lift their children to achieve their dreams.
Bless them for their sacrifice, their forgiveness and their guidance.

Bless grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, teachers and coaches
who have shown us love and support.

For those fathers who have lost a child or spouse,
give them your loving touch of healing
consoling them with your gentle care.

For those fathers who have gone before us,
bring them to your eternal banquet of joy and peace;
bring them the fullness of union with you
and communion with us as we remember their love for us.
Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing

     Life is not a journey to the grave

    With the intention of arriving safely

    In a pretty and well preserved body,

    But rather to skid in broadside,

    Thoroughly used up,

    Totally worn out,

    And loudly proclaiming

    —WOW—What a Ride!

     Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

    When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away 
    then the work of Christmas begins:

    Lord, help us

    to find the lost,
    to heal those broken in spirit,
    to feed the hungry,
    to release the oppressed,
    to rebuild the nations,
    to bring peace among all peoples,
    and to make a little music with the heart…

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week

     

    This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season. 

    Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth.

    The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light? 

    What's not OK in me? 

    What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me? 

    Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice? 

    To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

     

    Taken from an Advent Reflection by S. Jean Amore, CSJ, VP for Mission and Academics, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, N.Y.

    Rosemary’s Blessing

     We are the instruments of God’s gentle, motherly embrace. 

    Let us make of ourselves a sanctuary

    where God’s motherly love can embrace at least one person

    who is lost, lonely or forgotten in our world

    amid their struggles and despair. 

    Come Lord Jesus, work through me.

  • The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 8, 2026

    Isaiah 58:  Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the  hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.
    1 Corinthians 2:  I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
    Matthew 5: “… Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Make me mindful this day of the Signs of Love all around me:
    Of good words spoken, of gentle touch extended,
    Of important things that spring from appreciation, and true passion,
    Of deeds born of generosity and real understanding.
    Grant me the power this day to live with thoughtful intention in my speech, choices, and actions,
    So that I may build the habit of living gracefully, with love for the people and experiences that shape my life,
    Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.
    Ken Philipps
