19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 9, 2026
1 Kings 19: After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.
Romans 9: They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
Matthew 14: Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Rosemary’s Blessing:
Come, O Dancing God,
Spirit of Life and Love,
of Beauty and Diversity,
stir up my soul,
bathe me in your light,
and unleash my own spirit
that I may dance with you
and be light for those around me
and reflect your love to all that I meet this week.
