Rosemary & Her Blessing:

 

May the graces of Easter help us to close the distance between God’s vision for a world of love, unity, reconciliation, justice and peace and the way we live our daily lives. Let us rejoice that by the grace of God, in so many ways, we make a difference to God, not perfectly, but with love and fidelity. Indeed, this is what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

May your lives continue to partner with God and bless the world.

Taken from Our Easter Faith – Making a Difference to Our God by Sister Jean Amore CSJ, Ed.D., Principal, Sacred Heart Academy, Hempstead, NY

 

Genesis 15:  To your descendants I give this land,  from the Wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates.

Philippians 3:   Our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 9:  This is my chosen Son, listen to him.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.

 

St. Terese of Liseaux
